In winter, what fluid should you use in the windscreen-washer reservoir?

Correct answer

Winter-grade windscreen-washer fluid as specified by the manufacturer.

Use windscreen-washer fluid with freeze protection suitable for expected temperatures and compliant with the vehicle manual. Follow the specified dilution for concentrates; do not add water to ready-to-use fluid unless the manufacturer allows it. Engine coolant, descaler and household detergent are not equivalent substitutes.
