Added another 2.5 gallons of DEF (another leftover jug of Peak brand fluid) by cutting a hole in the bottom of the Adblue spill-free half gallon container and filling it from the Peak jug. Worked great and got a total of 3 gallons in between the two tanks.

Got the DEF warning on the dash, added a 1.9l bottle of Adblue left over from the PO, and will cut up the bottle to use it as a quick funnel with the 2.5 gallon jugs of Peak fluid. Abouut 137500 miles, so it seems to be using DEF at about 1 liter per 1,000 miles.
