So we got our first cold-snap in Chicago last week, and the washer jets on my Malibu froze. Friday night I was able to clear the nozzles out and Sunday I believe I flushed all of the old stuff out of the bottle -- I used green "bug stuff" over the summer and suspected that I didn't clear the stuff out of the lines before it got cold. Replaced it with some of the "blue stuff" I had in the garage.
This morning the [self-censored] nozzles froze up again.
Since the blue stuff is supposedly good to -25F, I'm wondering if the age of the stuff I used means that it's not quite as potent as I would think due to alcohol evaporating? The bottle was sealed, but I can't think of anything else.
Thoughts?
