Afternoon all... I have an unopened 10L bottle of Adblue in the garage, it was purchased in 2020 so is 4 years old, so does it go off and become unusable?

Or... do I need to buy some more?

Cheers

Date was smudged during printing, looks like a new 10L tub then.

Will have a look at the Redex.

Will do matey... I don't use much, but I reckon it will be getting low after 11k miles and was reading it will be less likely to crystallise if the tank is kept full.
