Windshield washer fluid

[JTK]

If you're down for mail ordering gallon bottles of w/s washer fluid, $3.11/gal is pretty good deal these days. I picked up 6 for myself. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N63U5TB?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

My local City Market (Kroger) still has them for $2.99 but this is much cheaper than Walmart at $3.68/gal.

$3.33 CAD for 4 Litres at the local grocery store, you'd think those Buffalo people would be making the trip to enjoy the savings?

That’s crazy what’s the profit after shipping 6 gals.

I hear that. I didn't think the order would go through, but it did and it shipped already.

The profit is that it's rated +20F , so not a lot of Methanol in that to cut the water with! I wouldn't buy that for use in Buffalo, it'll freeze on your windshield going 10mph at 32F ambient

The -20F version is 3x the price: https://www.amazon.com/Motorcraft-ZC32M20EG-Solution-Windshield-Washe/dp/B01MYMSGX0

Looks like it's only good to +20F. That would be a pass for Michigan weather.

Thank you, I had no idea. Safeway/Albertson's was 2 for $6 for a long time this fall but stopped.

I tend to avoid CM because I CANNOT understand the bottleneck architecture of the door: everyone is funneled into a narrow entrance/exit. It's like their signature design at nearly every store I've seen and it drives me nuts.

That’s a good deal. I use the RainX orange stuff exclusively.

Cheapest good one locally is at Home Depot...

Discount but not a deal, especially if its the +20F stuff. At that point just run straight water or diy your own non freezing mix.

Windshield washer deal right now is the family farm and home at $1 if you have one near by.

Menards the -35f washer fluid when on sale at 2.99 had been using it for years all car's year round.

 

[Slick3914]

Yup, it’s +20. Wish I wouldn’t have jumped on it.

go buy a couple -54's in ontario and mix?

Still have 4 gallons from last trip up to Bruce power.

Oh man... Good catch!

When I blew the image up on my cell phone I thought it said -20F. This is indeed no good for me.

Just paid $5 for 1 jug of rainx deicer... i am a lifelong cheapo so I am really excited to see how well it performs

I'm from Georgia but even here there are a few days where it gets under 20 degrees at night. I would never want my customers to deal with this borderline product. Life's too short.

+1
I thought the +20F rating seemed sus. Usually winter stuff is rated much lower.
Glas I wasn't the only one!

Do an Amazon Return when it arrives. Don't even open the box to examine what's inside.

Walmart locally has RainX -30 at $3.97, I use the orange in winter then make my own using the tabs the rest of the year...
