The more reason to make sure you get a complete fill at service time.

Both times after two different dealers refilled the DEF, there was residue from lots of DEF under both of the fill ports, obviously it overflowed to the ground and was not wiped off...

Frankly, I don't see how I could have done worse with a jug and a funnel.
