CEVANS: For the average ambient temperature (which is what this chart is based on) to have the impact you suggest, you would have to be living in the desert area of the southwest. For example, in Phoenix, AZ....where it can get as hot as 115 to 120 degrees during the summer, the average...
cevans: Please consider that the chart refers to average ambient temperature. I live in the south (South Carolina), and even as hot as it gets there, the average ambient temperature is only 64 degrees. To have an average ambient temperature which shortens def life to 6 months, you would have...
The critical variable regarding DEF shelf life is the ambient average temperature. The following information is provided by Ford Motor Company:
Average ambient temperature is less than or equal to 50 degrees F / Shelf life is 36 months
Average ambient temperature is less than or equal to 77...
The leather turned out great. The product was Katskins. I've had it done to several vehicles and have been happy with each and every one. Estimated cost will be somewhere between $1200 and $1600, depending upon where you have it done and the amount of labor involved. In my instance, the...
