Hi,
As my Qashqai is new to me, I’ve never had to top it up with adblue. (It’s also the first car I’ve owned that needs adblue.)
Basically when it appears, will the low adblue warning tell me how much to add (as JLR products do) or would I just ‘brim it’?
Also, is ‘supermarket’ adblue OK to use, or is there a recommended make that you guys use?
Thanks.

Supermarket adblue should be fine, i used redex. If I remember correctly the warning only says how many miles to go before you need to top up but not how much. I used to wait til 750 miles to go, then put in 10 litres. Dont know if this was ‘brimmed’. This used to last me about 10-12k miles so about 1000miles/litre. Hope that helps

I use the Redex AdBlue from ScrewFix (currently £16.99 for 10 litres...)

Hi, don't brim it, put 5-6 litres in, I had problems when I brimmed it.
