Australia had the DEF problem when imported supply was stopped, so now it is manufactured locally and no more problem. I am fortunate that my 2012 Cruze diesel never had the DEF tank and I have a full size spare tyre in that position.

I work for a major lubricants distributor in New York,there is a shortage of DEF.There are two reasons.The #1 reason is farmers are being forced in many states to use Urea as a fertilizer instead of other chemicals.#2 The war in Ukraine where 40% of the worlds Urea comes from.Urea is about 37% of DEF.

its always the overconfident ones that get it wrong, lol

So if DEF is not DEF than what else is it? I am curious to know.

Don't have a good answer other than additives/filler.
I received a refund from Peak for the Platinum DEF.
As I said, it is a known issue with the 2.8L in the Colorado/Canyons.

For real. I created my own strategic diesel reserve and paid 7+ per gallon......

Gen 1 yes, gen 2 not so easy and expensive.

What shortage(s)?

I have multiple containers of Blue DEF in the basement (oddly enough, the seller through Walmart...which was cheaper than Walmart...was working through Grainger).

No shortage, just price gouging based on shortage rumors.

The DEF shortage warning this past summer never came to fruition.
