As seen at Walmart across the Canadian border, but post yours as well. Someone mentioned they wanted some -40 fluid. Here it is. Multiply by 0.7 to get USD. Enjoy.

I make sure to stock up in spring, when it might go on clearance. Only buy the -40 stuff, I don’t need summer blend to freeze up on me.
 
Sigh........ and this is why my friends make fun of me participating in BITOG. Grown men spending Saturday morning discussing windshield washer fluid. And we say that women are fickle...............LOL. ;)

Gorgeous, absolutely perfect fall day in lower Michigan. Sun, crispy temps., leaves just a tint of color change. Get out and enjoy. Best wishes and prayers to those in the SE USA digging out of the storm.

I wish they sold that -40 down here

And those prices are great, especially when you consider the US Walmart prices for inferior washer fluid!
3.67 for -20F (blue)
3.88 for -25F (purple)

(prices in US dollars)
 
Stay away from the Walmart branded washer fluid. The stuff smells awful. I don’t know whether there is mold growing in it or something else. I will never buy another jug of that putrid stuff.

Wow, i just noticed that myself last weekend and thought i had gotten a bad batch. Where is the methanol smell? More like H2S to me.

that's only the +32 non-deicer stuff with no alcohol in it :sneaky:

The alcohol in the low-temp stuff kills the fart smell :)

Anything with a negative temperature written on it will be fine because of the alcohol

I had some of the bug wash (Green) stuff and it smelled worse than a fart. It made both of our cars smell so bad that the flies were attracted to them. I poured the rest of it out and went to Dollar General and got their brand of -20.

You might be correct about it being only the +32F formula. Either way, I’m swearing off the Walmart branded stuff. I’m not talking any chances getting anymore that smells like stagnant water mixed with tadpole poop.

Those WW temp ranges aren't even available in my area. They have "blue" which can be for 32F (0C) or not;

I'm technically further "south" than you and we get -20ºF blend here. They sell Rain-X fluid that's rated to -30ºF but it's over $5/bottle.
