I wish you didn't have to go under the hood to add DEF on a Chevy. Having it next to the fuel fill like Ford does is so much better.
For something you fill two, maybe three times a year? Really?

This is a general question to anyone with a Duramax that requires DEF.How far in normal driving will the 5 gal of DEF last before the warning light appears?. Also Where are you purchasing the DEF?. I am contemplating a new Duramax and getting horror stories from a few GM owners.

For the average person who drives 15k mi or less a year under the hood fill is ideal and a bit more idiot proof. I could see where high mileage fleet drivers would prefer the Ford fill location but that is a pretty small population.

I like mine better under the hood. It's more secure. I read a post where some fool vandalized a Ford truck and poured motor oil into the DEF tank. The entire DEF system had to be replaced. I have also read a few posts where people have inadvertently pumped deisel fuel into the DEF tank because it was right next to the fuel filler.
I claim bull on pumping diesel into the DEF tank. How did they get the diesel nozzle to fit in a hole that is half the size of the nozzle?

If I only needed to add DEF two or three times a year I would just let the shop top it off when they were doing my oil change. I add DEF at least 8 or 9 times a year and it would be a pain going under the hood to do it IMHO. I'm well over 6' and have to stand on tip toes to even check my oil on my truck. The less I have to go under the hood for the better.
