Diesel Exhaust Treatment
Recently we found a newer product that will treat your Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). The company has a couple of different versions of the DEF treatment. We bought one to try and just put our first bottle in.
The version we bought was the Diesel DEF Treatment in the eight fluid ounces size. Our DEF tank is 25 gallons and this bottle is suppose to treat that much DEF.
Here are links to the different versions:
The above is to treat DEF before it starts to crystalize. It is supposed to keep the DEF from crystalizing.
From the website:
Rislone Diesel DEF Treatment is a product that inhibits the accumulation of harmful white deposits within the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) system that can lead to expensive repairs. It is important to take all possible measures to prevent their formation. Beyond the financial burden, these deposits can reduce engine performance, increase fuel consumption, and potentially render the vehicle or machinery inoperative.
In short, Rislone Diesel DEF Treatment is an anti-crystallization solution that is used every time you fill your DEF/AdBlue tank. It’s a smart and affordable insurance policy against future SCR and DEF repairs.
Main benefits:
- Improves diesel exhaust fluid and avoids costly SCR / DEF system repairs.
- Regular use every time refilling the DEF / AdBlue tank works to prevent the white crystallization deposits from occurring.
- Protects the tank, pump, heater, sender, lines, injector and mixer.
- Works with all UREA AdBlue DEF diesel exhaust fluids and will not void manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty.
- Excellent for diesel vehicles driven regularly at slow speeds, low loads, short durations or make frequent stops as these are more prone to having the problem of crystallization deposit build up in the SCR system.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Measure required amount per dosage chart below and pour directly into DEF tank or into DEF bottle / cube when refilling tank.
Light Truck or Mid-Size to Large SUV—4 ounces
Car or Small SUV—2 ounces
Medium and Heavy Duty Diesel Trucks—8 ounces
Equipment & Machinery—8 ounces per every 10 gallons
Cube (2-1/2 gallon)—2 ounces
If your DEF has already started to crystalize the recommend using the DEF Crystal Clean™ Diesel DEF & SCR Emissions System Cleaner.

Rislone Diesel DEF Emissions Treatment
From the website:
RISLONE® DEF CRYSTAL CLEAN™ Diesel DEF & SCR Emissions System Cleaner is a proprietary blend of DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) / AdBlue® compatible cleaning agents and surfactant detergents specifically designed to be safe to use and work on SCR (Selective Catalyst Reduction) systems.
DEF Crystal Clean gives a cleaning effect on the entire SCR system by working to dissolve the white crystal deposits that form in the tank, pump, heater, sender, lines, injector, decomposition tube / reactor and mixer. These deposits can interfere with the normal operation of the SCR emissions system and engine, increasing fuel consumption and reducing engine power. This reduced power can lead to operating in limp mode where the vehicle will drive slowly, or become undrivable. This process restores function and with regular use maintains efficiency of the SCR.
- Excellent for diesel vehicles driven regularly at slow speeds, low loads, short durations or make frequent stops as these are more prone to having the problem of crystallization deposit build up in the SCR system.
- Regular use every 5,000 miles not only keeps the system clean, but works to prevent the white crystallization issues from returning.
- Will not void manufacturer’s new vehicle warranty. Specifically designed and safe to use on vehicles which have DOC catalytic converters, DPF particulate filters, SCR selective catalytic reduction devices, ASC ammonia slip catalyst or DEF / AdBlue systems.
- Works with all AdBlue, Aria 32 (Automotive Nitrogen Oxide Liquid Reducing Agent), AUS 32 (Aqueous Urea Solution), BlueHDi, BlueTEC®, Cummins®, DEF UREA, Duramax®, EcoDiesel®, PowerStroke®, TDI® Clean Diesel, and many more.
BENEFITS:
- Avoid Costly DEF System Repairs
- Improves Emission Component Life
- Restores SCR Selective Catalyst Reduction Performance
- Cleans Crystal Deposits, Guaranteed
- Works with all UREA DEF / AdBlue Fluids
- Restores Optimal DEF Injector Spray Pattern
DO NOT ADD TO DIESEL FUEL TANK
INSTRUCTIONS:
DEF Crystal Clean is specifically designed to only be installed in the Diesel Exhaust Fluid / AdBlue tank which usually has a blue cap. Do not add to the diesel fuel tank.
Light Truck or Mid-Size to Large SUV
5 to 9 gallon tank capacity install full bottle into DEF tank.
Car or Small SUV
3 to 5 gallon tank capacity use approximately 1/2 bottle.
Medium and Heavy Duty Diesel Trucks
10 to 20 gallon tank capacity use 2 bottles.
Pour DEF Crystal Clean into mostly full DEF tank or add and fill tank with diesel exhaust fluid. If light is still on after 250 miles or a few days of driving, second application may be required, or mechanical attention is needed.
We got two bottles of the DEF treatment and will see how it preforms and what we think of it. Look for a blog later this year on what we think of the DEF treatment. As a note the only place we could find it in stock was AutoZone. We could order it from the Walmart website.
