Camco All Season Premium Windshield Washer Fluid 31173: Advance Auto Parts

Picked up 2 of these to try out. Just filled the resivor this morning. Usually i go with the cheap blue mix for the winter months. Because of the amount used. And locally on sale for $1/gal. I`ll report on the camco findings. As luck would have it, not using a lot this year because of the mild winter so far.

I always worry about "fancy" washer fluids messing with my LSPs...see how that stuff is in that regard.

Yeah I used rain x washer for while but in bad winters left this very sticky residue streaks on my a pillars and roof. All part the wonderful winter beating cars take.

The fluid that the original owner of my `93 Audi used etched the (hood`s) paint around the nozzles so badly that it can only be fixed with a paintgun, which isn`t gonna happen.

And, the new formula introduced a couple of years ago can mess up your washer tank low level sensor. Cost me $100 to get it replaced--they had to take off the passenger side front wheel well liner to get at it.

Did it mess up as in "always warning you it`s low"? Seeing that idiot light all the time would drive me nuts, but if it merely disabled the warning I could live with that.

Yep, constant yellow low fluid level warning light right in the middle of the display. Don`t really need it as I check the fluid level often.

Yeah, I couldn`t live with that. I even had the Crown Vic`s Traction Control LED switched to green since I always turn it off and couldn`t stand having a yellow warning light in my peripheral vision.

No adverse effects. Cleans great and i noticed increased beading. Funny you mention about the low washer fluid light. The xterras had them up to about 08-09. Then dropped it. The icon is still in the dash cluster, but not functional. Canadian models still have it tho.

PA DETAILER- Ah, that`s great about it not messing with things! Gotta keep it in mind should I ever run through my current stuff (not likely as I basically don`t use the washers).

And that`s just TOO WEIRD that the icon is still there but the sensor has been decontented. I mean...I get it why they`d do that, but the idea still kinda bugs me. Even though I`d never use it, I`d maybe be tempted to retrofit from a Canadian one just because I`m like that

Agree. I would have liked that feature! On the xterra forum, i believe if you have the plug under the bottle, you can add the sensor. Of course our washer resivor is inside the fender!

[Accumulator]

PA DETAILER- Well of course it is

Final update on this stuff. NO ADVERSE EFFECTS. Wipers and paint are fine. It clears light frost and ice with ease. One of the best i have used in the winter.
