Washer Fluid Refill

Socale92 · 05-02-2009, 03:29 AM

Ok so I ordered some oem washer fluid and recieved it as Ive been getting the low fluid lights intermittently. i just read the manual and it says to make sure to mix with water according to manufacturer's specifications. the ratio table is in the manual but it's basically like 2:! (water:fluid) - can someone who's done this give me any advice so I can finally start work under the hood,

thank you.

Make sure you use distilled ionized water to mix it...try not to use carbonated water....i used a straw to refill mine after this winter.

you're in LA, so you can probably mix it however you want. 1 part fluid for every 2 parts water is totally normal. People in canada should just throw it straight in there without water. I learned that lesson after battling frozen washer fluid in German winter for putting too much water in the mix.

Are you referring to the clear OEM fluid?

If so, where did you get it?
