1 Vehicle With 2 Different Wiper Blades

[Skippy722]

Those are all "tandem" style correct? I'm used to that and it doesn't bother me as much...
The C-Max has Opposed blades, which i am used to being the same on both sides....but it takes a 28" on the driver's, and 24" on the passengers*.. i should try and get a picture some time...

*2012-13 models spec the 24" passenger blade....2014-18 spec a 26" which is what i'm running now... next time I MIGHT just bump 'em both up to 28" and see what happens.!
2012-13 models also call for 5w20, where the 14-18 call for 0w20... apparently my 13's previous owner ran 5w30! at least according to the hand writing in the owners manual that says in shaky old people script - "BEST OIL, Castrol 5w30"
So far i've had MC ,Havoline Syn, maxlife Syn, and now Havoline Syn again, all 5w20.... if it ain't broke?

Correct, but my truck is also tandem style and takes 2 22” blades! Wish I had opposed, it’s better IMO.

Our old 67 Buick had opposing blades and the newer cars had tandem blades. From a young age I've always associated opposing with old fashioned cars and school buses.
