mix away. most wiper fluid is just alcohol of various strengths.

 

Never had a problem mixing. I use that orange rainx. I love it, winter, summer, anytime of year.

 

This. I've been using it for many years. I never drive without Rain X.

 

It all depends if the Flux Capacitor is energized. If it isn't, then you are good to go regardless of fluid color. :thumb:

 

Okay Doc!

If you live in a cold weather climate zone be sure to get the stuff rated for low temps.

 

I remember reading about mixing and things gumming up.
There is some sort of reaction that can cause gelling.

I would either stick with regular or run it down and use the rain x

I use rain x in my truck, but I am tentative about using it on my Jeeps because of the soft top. I don’t want funky blotches on my soft top.

 

Kinda thought about the soft top and rainx too but said f it and went for it, for science.

Long as you don't pour blinker fluid in there, you'll be fine...

 

I go through so much washer fluid I finally just bought the tablets from 303 and mix it up at home.

 

I used to work for a company that made any after market automotive fluid you can think of. Basic windshield wiper fluid (not RainX or similar specialty products) was 1 gallon of water, a couple drops of blue dye, and less than an ounce of isopropyl alcohol.

Not sure what the 303 tablets are but for anyone else out there looking for cheap washer fluid, buy a bottle of Heet and mix a capful with water in your WW fluid reservoir and you’ll be golden.

 

I had some white residue once from mixing no name fluids. No problems whatsoever just cleaned the washer fluid bottle with water. Pump has some sort of intake filter which didn’t let the "white crystals " or whatever was that to clog the nozzles.

 

I've been mixing whatever brand is on sale for decades now. No problems with freezing up, or anything else for that matter.

 

As long as you only put in the kind that specifies "will mix with all types" you'll be fine.

 

Oh I didnt know that shows on the label.

HOAT vs OAT is antifreeze! No gel in washer fluids.

 

I was joking in my post guys......

 

This stuff is great. You can mix it with anything..

 

I just in the last few years changed off of straight well water. I did have the washers start to freeze up on a trip to Detroit in Jan years ago in my Ram 2500. Stopped and topped off with washer fluid at an auto parts store and had no more issue.

I use the cheap stuff and never have had an issue.

I did have an issue with whatever the dealer put in my 2003 when I bought it in 2014 because it did gunk up and stopped up the nozzle. About 10PSI from my air compressor cleared it out, looked like blue snot. I ran pure well water for a while till the blue chunks stopped coming out. Then went with the cheap WalMart stuff and no issues since.

 

I buy a case of what ever is cheapest and use it in my jeep and new F150, I've never had a problem. I use a lot here in New England especially in the winter months

 

why do some of you make this so difficult?
Interesting though about using Heet

 

We also bottled Heet at the plant and all the maintenance guys did this. Basically Heet is just a bottle of methanol, the same thing we used in the washer fluid. The maintenance guys would do this because the bottle of Heet cost about the same as a gallon of WW fluid but you could make a dozen gallons out of one bottle of Heet if you didn’t mind that it wasn’t blue.

 

I run Rain X all weather -45c. I mixed it with the all season mopar crap that was in it when I bought it, made sure it was full before I took it in for the last service before warranty expired.

 

I only use the blue stuff for $2.29 or the other blue stuff for $2.99, mix away!

 

Your Jeep is gonna have the worst hangover after mixing all that washer fluid...........

Melts the ice pretty well.

You get ice in Hog Waller? Down here we get the occasional frost but rarely ever ice. On the once every two decades we do, I stay home.

 

I’m lucky that the temp really isn’t an issue in North Texas but when I head to Colorado or other points with low temps I just buy a jug of the -20 stuff and start mixing it in with the washer fluid. I have had good experience with all Rain-x products.

 

Heet in the yellow bottle contains methanol, ISO Heet in the red bottle contains isopropanol.

 

from what I have read in the past the yellow only contains 1% methanol and 99%isopropanol. I information on ingredients is hard to find as they always say proprietary lol. They don't want you to know it is just rubbing alcohol.

 

I just looked up rainX cleaner and Super Tech De-icer and sure enough just methanol and water. Super tech was 30% by volume and Rain X 30-50%.

 

LOL, ain’t it grand!

 

I used to see gelled up washer juice on occasion when working at various Dealerships. This was many years ago but it does happen. I use the rain ex exclusively and haven't had any issues with it. Probably been mixed into ^ different rigs w/o issue.

 

I’m glad I clicked on this thread. When I read the title, I thought to myself “how can there be two pages on washer fluid?” Turns out the read was worth it. Time to start mixing up some home-brew washer fluid! :winner:
