Fluid Leak - What is this?

[jeeeep]

Wait. You can actually buy washer fluid without an antifreeze agent in it? Wouldn't do much good in -30ºC.

I've seen some rated as low as -40, used to use it when I was in Wyoming winters :thumb:

Yep. I learned the hard way. Took a trip to Seattle last fall. Was out of fluid so bought some at Walmart and drove back. Didn't bother even looking at the label. When I got back here to CO, wasn't even a week and bottle was completely frozen. I still had the container and sure enough, it was only good down to 32F.

Ouch. Yeah, I'd be pissed at that. Frozen fluid in the lines means no clean windows until spring!

The typical cheap stuff up here is usually rated to -35ºC but good old Canadian Tire sells a few different ones rated down to -49ºC.
