I either buy the windshield fluid that premixed for cold weather, or I add isopropyl alcohol form the drug store.
So Rubbing alcohol works?
Do you run it straight or mix it into windex?
If I wait till I get to a cold weather area, I won't remember till I need it.
& being I live in Los Angeles I doubt I could find any of this cold weather formula blends.
So I was thinking of doing it at home before we head out.
How much alcohol to what ever I'm mixing it with percentage wise?
If I'm not running it straight?
Been doing it for years. Make sure if you do add it to run your washer enough to distribute the new mix throughout the system. Sometimes you will get a whiff of rubbing alcohol into the cab, but it's not a deal breaker.
I used to buy the concentrated 20/10 and I would boost the windshield washer mix so that it actually cut the grease and grime on the windshield.
I never measured, just added a couple of cups of rubbing alcohol.
