Another storm is due this afternoon, so last night I wiped down the rubber door and trunk seals with silicone oil, and topped off the windshield fluid with orange stuff. I switched from the blue stuff last year when it froze at teen temps (rated to -20F).
Just got a note from a friend, his windshield washer fluid froze yesterday morning. His was -20F rated as well, not sure which color, and morning temps were around 5F. It seems lying on the label is quite OK in this industry. We are supposed to stay this cold for the rest of the week. I am tempted to buy a bunch of different brands, leave them out tonight and see which ones are frozen in the morning.
So two questions, what did you do/are you doing to prepare for the really cold temps, and what brand of windshield washer fluid is freezing up on you? Bonus points for pictures of frozen fluids and outing brand names and places of sale.
