Any of the DEF has a short shelf life, hence never buy bulk amounts.

Well, if one has to reduce NOx, DEF/SCR is the cheapest way to do it, believe it or not.
Ammonia gas works better than DEF, but ammonia gas is extremely hazardous. It was even used as a chemical weapon. A bottle of ammonia is certainly not the kind of thing you'd want on a vehicle. It'll kill people that have been in an accident.

DEF/SCR isn't going away, so the choice is to keep an older vehicle running forever, or learning to deal with it. Manufacturers don't want their vehicles to have a reputation for being unreliable boxes, so there is constant R&D being devoted to improving these systems.

Keep DEF cool and out of direct sunlight and the shelf-life improves dramatically. A tote full of DEF sitting outside in Arizona will have measurably deteriorated in a week.

after the last time was in shop adblu system they tested fluid and found out it had broken down and was no good and that cause a lot of problems, a few parts had to be change out.
place I bought it from only heated the place when some one was in space
they never sold much and people at the pumps didn't know about shelf life
and don't let it freeze
