1 gallon distilled water. 1 cup of white vinegar. Spoonful of dish soap. 1 cup of rubbing alcohol in the winter. Add blue food coloring if you want.

You’ll never buy the pre-made stuff again.



Here me out on this one. You could go to Walmart.com and search for Rain-x all season 2-1 washer fluid. Add it to your favorites list and add to cart. Check out and $3.97 and a couple of days later, the jug shows up at your house.

Now add a couple of tablespoons of dishwasher rinse aid to your recipe and you have a great shower door and wall spray that's a lot cheaper than store stuff.

You have to be lying or driving an old arse vehicle. I’ve never used an entire jug and run that shite until I get nothing out of the wipers.

5.7 tundra takes the entire gallon jug if it’s given you the low fluid message. It goes right up to the cap but fits. Toyota loves you and wants you to be happy.

For the sake of organization and simplicity, why can’t car manufacturers and fluid bottlers come up with a standard size refill bottle to fill up the tank to where you have no fluid left.



Buy a Nissan Armada. The washer fluid tank seems as big as the gas tank. Dump in a gallon when the light comes on and off you go.

The other cars get topped off.

bullshite thing is I have 3 vehicles and they all take different coolant. That shite’s probably all the same with different color food dyes. I never need a gallon either.

This makes zero sense.

Surprised I had to scroll this far to see someone ask this question.

That way I don’t have a quart rolling around in the back until I need to fill it again.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the obvious - put any left over windshield washer fluid in your wife's vehicle.

It's the car, man! My current vehicle and the last one could take the full gallon. It made me unreasonably happy when I figured that out with the new car.
