Agree. The supposed “premium” DEFs claim to reduce or eliminate DEF crystallizing and build up in the exhaust system. But the only place I have ever seen any claims of that being a problem is in the advertisements of the manufacturers that sell a “premium” grade DEF. And even if true, that would happen over time, not between tankfuls of DEF (according to those manufacturers).
