ADBLUE SERVICE TOP UP MAX 12L
AdBlue® is a colourless fluid used in many newer diesel vehicles to reduce harmful exhaust emissions. This is our 12 litre service, designed to completely top up your AdBlue and provide the best value for money.
What is AdBlue and what does it do?
AdBlue® technology is appearing in newer diesel cars and vans to help reduce harmful exhaust emissions.
AdBlue is a colourless diesel exhaust fluid that helps convert harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) gases into harmless nitrogen (N) and water vapour (H2O), reducing road pollution.
The newer the diesel vehicle, the more chance it uses AdBlue. However, it does depend on the manufacturer and model, as not all diesel cars use AdBlue technology. If you haven’t spotted a blue capped AdBlue refill point next to the fuel cap, in the engine bay or even the boot, then check your owner’s manual. You can also visit your local ATS centre and one of our expert technicians can check for you.
If your car does use this technology, it’s important to have regular AdBlue top ups to ensure your vehicle doesn't go into limp mode or even fail to start. If your AdBlue is running low, you will be alerted via an AdBlue warning light on your dashboard.
