Windshield washer spray freezing up - Page 2

Normally what I do, I use that orange stuff year round, not the blue. You can get it at the end of the winter season at Lowe's usually for the price of the blue junk. .99 cents a gallon which is about 50% off their normal price. I usually stock up when I find it and remember to get it. I think last time I bought like 8 bottles for .99 cents each, and that was either 2 or 3 years ago, and I still have 4 left and will watch for it again about late February, early March.

Buy the resevoir from a 2008 & newer Denali, ours has a heater built in to heat the washer fluid. May come in other GM vehicles but we this truck has it.

Add about 5-10% methanol to the fluid tank. It will drop the freezing point to 20F w/10%. It's cheaper than buying specialized fluid if you live in a mild area. Up here in Canada you can always find fluid rated to -45F.
