We are in a 2015 BMW X5 M50D that needs topping up with AdBlue or DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid). If we start the engine we can see the AdBlue message and AdBlue warning light displayed on the instrument cluster.
To find out how long can we drive until the AdBlue tank or DEF is empty or how much we need to top up, we will go to the main menu and here we select Vehicle Information / Vehicle Status and here we select the AdBlue icon. Here we see that we can drive 1,600 km until the AdBlue tank is empty and we have to add 10 liters of AdBlue or DEF liquid.
Then we can go to the Owner’s Handbook and write AdBlue and you already see on the right of the screen some AdBlue information. We will go to „AdBlue, topping up yourself” and at Suitable AdBlue we find out that we have to top up with AdBlue liquid with ISO 22241-1 or the one recommended for BMW.
To top up with AdBlue, we will have to open the bonnet and here you can see the blue cap that says AdBlue. We open it by holding the black plastic with the other hand.
I bought this 5 liter can of AdBlue which is the one recommended by BMW, it has that ISO 22241-1. It also comes with a filler tube for easier filling. We put the filler tube on the can mouth and pour the AdBlue additive into the tank.
After we finished, we put the AdBlue cap back and check if we still have the message and the indicator light on the dashboard. So we turn on the ignition on and see that the message and the warning light have disappeared. Then we go to the main menu and see that now we have 8,500 km range and we still need to top up with 5 liters of AdBlue.
