Do you add the fluid while the engine is running or it’s off or it doesn’t matter thank you very helpful on this video

I travel alone in my Revel and the one thing I've been concerned about is going into "limp" mode. For that reason, I top off my DEF every other fill-up. LOL!
I can't use the 2 gal def because I'm not strong enough to lift it up high enough to feed it in due to the the height of my van. I'm 5ft.
I transfer it to an empty one gallon DEF jug and then add it in. I always keep extra with me in case I can't find any DEF.
