You have questions, Pat Goss has answers.
Do I need to add anti-freeze to my windshield washer fluid during the winter?
Well, that's absolutely false up to a point. See, back in the day when this classic was a car, windshield washers were actually optional. A lot of cars didn't have them, but all cars have them today.
Now this business of taking anti-freeze like you would put in the radiator and putting it in the windshield washer - not a good idea at all! See, anti-freeze often can damage paint. So although it would keep the washer system from freezing, it could do a lot of damage to the car.
So what do you do? Well there are summer blends of washer solvent and winter blends of washer solvent. You want to get all the summer blend out of there, and get the freeze protecting winter blend in there to keep the washer system from freezing up and you're good to go.
