Washer Fluid & Other Questions
Hey guys,
My washer fluid light came on recently and I'm browsing around to find some good replacement. Unlike the oil change threads which are available by the millions I couldn't find a recommended washer fluid. I'm debating whether to go with the Toyota dealership or just buying some washer fluid online. Any ideas? |

[QUOTE=vaironl;719278]Hey guys,

Unlike the oil change threads which are available by the millions I couldn't find a recommended washer fluid. I'm debating whether to go with the Toyota dealership or just buying some washer fluid online. Any ideas? Whatever you buy, make sure that it states clearly what freezing protection you will get from different concentrations. Many products say meaningless things like 'helps to protect against freezing' or 'may stop freezing' I do not know what the winter temperatures are in your part of the world. But, here in the UK we have had a few very cold winter spells recently, quite a few people had frozen washer pumps, which they tried to operate, the result being that the vanes on the impeller promptly stripped, new washer pumps are quite expensive! Sorry I cannot advise on a product, I do not know what is available in the US. Regards Geoff Peace. |
