Oz_ShadowI just saw a 2 pack of Rain-X at Costco. So far, no big issues here, but I probably should grab some of the ice type soon.

P250UA5I just do RO water in mine, but we don't really have to worry about it freezing.

PHPaulPicked up a case at WalMart. $1.78 a gallon for 6 gallons. Should get us through the Winter.

comet24Washer fluid concentrate for the warmer months. Will freeze but for the warmer months, these are simple and inexpensive.
washer tabletsLike the second one better than the tablets but both work fine. Currently using the tablets because I have a bunch left.
washer concentrate.

sig77I will pick up a gallon or 2 tomorrow, but we have not been driving much lately. I would think there would be a surplus not a shortage, but who knows.

rtquigTypically I buy the 2 pack of Rain-X at Costco but I haven't seen it there lately. After reading this thread, I thought I better go out to Auto Zone and pick some up. They had it stacked deep by the case with 3 different varieties. $7.00 for any 2.

RogueJSKNo shortage around here, from what I've seen at a few different stores. It's just toilet paper and paper towels that getting hit hard (again).

wingfootI wasn't sure what the OP meant in his post but I'm guessing he is saying there is a shortage on windshield wiper fluid? This is the first I've heard of this, is this somehow COVID related?

ptruckAfter having some -20*F rated fluid freeze on me while in northern Wisconsin one winter, I only use the -35*F rated in my vehicle. I've not seen any shortages in my area except the -35*F fluid.

rsboloYou guys buy washer fluid? It really is cheap and easy to make.
Now BLINKER fluid...that's a tough one.
