The system is able to test to be sure the correct fluid is in the tank. It needs to be a specific concentration.
Our Passat uses DEF / Adblue. One 5 gallon tank will go about 15,000 miles. Refilling it at the 10k oil changes makes it a non-issue. It works out much better than the non SCR / Adblue system the Jetta & Golf use, and is cheaper to run too!
