Windshield Wiper Fluid: Why Water Isn't Enough in Winter

Many assume windshield washer fluid is just water with soap. But in winter, this mistake can leave you driving blind or cause hundreds of dollars in damage.

Why Water Doesn't Work:

  • Freezes at 32°F—cracks reservoir, damages pump, splits hoses
  • Doesn't cut through salt, oil, and road grime
  • Lacks cleaning agents for stubborn deposits

Temperature Ratings:
Summer fluid only protects to 32°F. Standard winter protects to -20°F to -30°F. Extreme cold formulas protect to -40°F or lower.

The Cost of Mistakes:
Frozen systems lead to burned-out pumps ($50-150+) and cracked reservoirs ($100-300). Meanwhile, road spray makes driving hazardous when you can't clean your windshield.

Quality washer fluid costs just $3-8 per gallon—one of the cheapest safety items you can buy.
