The DEF capacities:
Passive 15.8L / 4.2 gal
Active 5.5 L / 1.5 gal

Tank #1 0 miles - Super Diesel Additive (SDA)
Tank #2 600 miles - nothing
Tank #3 1200 miles - SDA
Tank #4 1800 miles - nothing
Tank #5 2400 miles - SDA
Tank #6 3000 miles - nothing
Tank #6 3600 miles - SDA
Tank #7 4200 miles - nothing
Tank #8 4800 miles - Diesel Purge (DP)
Tank #9 5400 miles - DPF Protector (DPFP)
Tank #10 6000 miles - nothing
Tank #11 6600 miles - SDA
Tank #12 7200 miles - nothing
Tank #14 7800 miles - SDA
Tank #15 8400 miles - nothing
Tank #16 9000 miles - DP
Tank #17 9600 miles - DPFP, engine and oil filter change

I get about 600 miles per tank. I put the additive in before a fill up and amend this schedule as necessary if I'm filling up before the entire tank is used, going on a trip so I might do an oil change early, etc. I use Shell diesel, BP is my second, then Sunoco and then Chevron/Texaco. Exxon/Mobil is also acceptable.

I repeat this cycle three times and then replace the diesel fuel filter. After six cycles I replace the air filter also. I top off the DEF every oil change.
Hey 350 miles after I poured the first Liqui-Moly SDA the CEL disappeared!!! I was like.. what..? it's a miracle!!! All the money I spend before and it came down to just a fuel additive! Thank you for the recommendation! Hope it stays clear of CEL. I will follow the same recommendation.
