Cheapest way is to siphon out the fluid.......... The only thing I look for is the cheapest stuff with at least -35f Fluid ...I also put a few drops of dish washing soap to the washer fluid... done this for many year with no problem

 

I use Rain-X--it works good and doesn't bring a bad smell
into the car after use.

 

I used a cheap fluid--one time--and every time I used the washer,
I could smell anti-freeze--changing to a quality fluid fixed that.

 

I'm sure Rain X is a fine product but it's only good to -20f probably OK in WV. but Canada ???? I think you might need a lower freeze point
Plus Rain X is too costly for what it does......

 

I know you need a better product in Canada--The land of Ice.

I'm sure they sell products for the Canadian market.
I think I pay about 2.50 for Rain-X--Regular washer is about 2 bucks.
Not that much more to me.

 

I pay on average about 1.29 per gal. With 2 cars I use about 15 gal a year in Wisconsin
By adding a few drops liquid dishwasher soap to the windshield cleaner it works great

 

the pumps are o-ringed on they simply pull off. If you get under, you may need to pull the wheel well apart to se ethe pum or pumps. that was how I drained or fixed mine back on the 1st and 2nd gen. Do be carful the stuff you put in.

I use rainX good for those winter freezing days I get them on sale and stock up big time the ya re not cheap if asked.

 

Yea it's in the passenger wheel well... I just changed the fog lights and has easy access to the pump. I too would like to drain it but may just do it before December with aggressive use..

Rainx is great, been using it for many years.

As you said. Why don’t you just pull back on the washer stick on the steering wheel and drain the fluid that way? Depending on how much fluid you have left in there. By the way why do you want to do this?

 

In Toronto, I get it from Canada, it is good for -45 C. Pack of 4 for 9.99. Have been using it for past few years, without any issues.

 

Sorry Typo, I get it from Costco.

 

is the back the same reservoir as the front?

when you put rain-x, did you mix it with the fluid that comes with it when you purchased it or did you drain it first?
I am thinking if I can just use it until it's low then mix it with rain-x.

Rain-x all season is -45C

Thanks

 

two pumps one tank

 

Yes, only one tank for both front and back. Just mix the two, you'll be fine. Don't need to complicate this.

 

Here is another advisable tip. when my pump gave I did not want to spend 50 plus for one. I got a el cheapo for 5.00 and spliced the line on the top. what I am saying is you can find hte line pull off and drain . if you want to modify the line

 

since I can mix it with the current fluid, I'll just use it until it's low then mix with rain-x

Thanks
