@mwilk012Why would you not use the cold weather compatible washer fluid all seasons?
@Jason OliverI have to say - we are a bored lot to have 3 pages on windshield washer fluid (including me - I read all 3 pages)...
@Mikester86What's your favorite windshield solvent color?
Get the above freezing stuff out? That stuff is more designed to clear bug than anything else. It’s still good to -20C. It’s when the outside temp is -20 C and you’re driving at 45-50 mph. Thats when the summer stuff is no good@Gron86
In all seriousness, YES, you can have issues in regard to windshield washer fluid.
Guys/gals that live in areas that have below freezing temps in the Winter need to use a windshield washer fluid that is rated for say -20 or -30 degrees. It's important to get the Summer Windshield Washer Fluid that is rated for +32 degrees out of the washer lines when Wintertime comes.
You get the +32 degree stuff out and the -20/-30 degree stuff in. Nowadays you can buy/use fluid that is aok to use for any season. That fluid is usually a tad bit pricier..
Now, for those in states that never see temps, drop below freezing, well they are not faced with the above..
DO KNOW, that you can often get into trouble mixing different types / brands of Windshield Washer Fluid. Mixing the wrong combo can cause blockage in nozzles and in fluid lines... IF you are going to be fooling with different brands, you might be wise to finish up with one and then fill with another... And no, you do not need to use Mopar brand / OEM washer fluid.

Bugs and summer crap. That is the main reason. Summer stuff gets that off way easier . Summer stuff will still work below freezing. But no the real; cold Canadian, North Dakota mid January winters.Why would you not use the cold weather compatible washer fluid all seasons?
You post is a tad hard to understand...Get the above freezing stuff out? That stuff is more designed to clear bug than anything else. It’s still good to -20C. It’s when the outside temp is -20 C and you’re driving at 45-50 mph. Thats when the summer stuff is no good
