Default Methanol / Water Injection and Heat Yellow bottle

How many bottles of Heat (in the yellow bottle) do you guys add to your windshield washer tank?


I found Heat in the Yellow bottle at Target for $1.50 and it's the 12 OZ/354ml is that a good deal?

TIA

Usually mixing them 1:1 in a separate container is best, and then fill tank.

Default Apparently you can use...

...walmart supertech -20f washer fluid (40% meth) + a bottle or two of windshield washer concentrate, for a cheap solution.

To answer your question, you want about a 50/50 mix of distilled water and meth.

you are correct, +32F has less then 1% methanol in it, you best bet is to go with VP M1
