View Full Version : Endless Washer Fluid splink 01-23-2007, 11:07 AM I bought my car July 1, 2006. I have yet to refill the washer fluid. I use it fairly liberaly and have yet to run out. How much fluid does this car hold? Dustin 01-23-2007, 11:11 AM A whole damn lot. I refilled it once since August... and it took like 2 gallons lol. Blankobalt06 01-23-2007, 11:11 AM yeah. i noticed too. JohnfromVA 01-23-2007, 11:17 AM i got mine in May and it stills spits lol IMADreamer 01-23-2007, 11:17 AM I've never filled mine either and I got it in June. lol This thing does have a huge resevoir. sneaky 01-23-2007, 11:18 AM My sedan was bone dry for the first time since I owned it Nov 2005 and one gallon was all it took to fill it up. JohnfromVA 01-23-2007, 11:18 AM i got mine in May and it stills spits lol havent filled it up once SSmike06 01-23-2007, 11:19 AM Well, I usually almost empty a 4L of washer fluid in this car.. It's really usefull during the winter since I don't have to refill each 2 weeks :lol: 05BlackCobaltSS 01-23-2007, 11:20 AM I have had mine since June of '05. I topped it off last spring, and it still kicks. 06blackSC 01-23-2007, 01:32 PM I just drained my factory fill washer fluid from feb. 06 and filled it with the rain-x winter stuff. oldsskool 01-23-2007, 01:33 PM Mine squirters stopped working.. LoL.. may be ice in there.. dunno. But the crap just trickles out of em Joewit 01-23-2007, 01:35 PM I used mine constantly and I bought the car in april and just ran out thiss week. RaineMan 01-23-2007, 01:35 PM so... with a tank that big... would removing the washer fluid count as a weight reduction mod? an0malous 01-23-2007, 01:40 PM got mine in august last year and i havent refilled yet. D4u2s0t 01-23-2007, 01:43 PM i had my car for about a year, put a gallon in, and couldn't even see it in the tank... has to be at least 2 gallons to fill it mkulrey13 01-23-2007, 02:09 PM its true these do take forever to empty and i use mine constantly in the winter. Now that i think of it i havnt filled it since i bought in june 05 haha IMADreamer 01-23-2007, 02:56 PM so... with a tank that big... would removing the washer fluid count as a weight reduction mod? no. lol The tank itself weighs next to nothing. The fluid in it doesn't weight much. You would never notice the difference if you took it out. There are plenty better ways to save weight. splink 01-23-2007, 03:07 PM so i didnt want to make this thread because now that i have ill go out to my car and it will be empty sushidog 01-23-2007, 03:09 PM Yeah, I say use it for a water/meth injection tank and get a smaller tank for your wipers. Water is 8lbs to the gallon is it not? It's over the wheels though so that will help your traction woes. :lol: RaineMan 01-23-2007, 10:48 PM Yeah, I say use it for a water/meth injection tank and get a smaller tank for your wipers. Just don't let some clown at the service station try to fill it with washer fluid. splink 01-25-2007, 10:24 AM well i think i ran out today...it didnt help that i was trying to by using a bunch but at least now i can get some good orange fluid for it Vaughts05ss 01-25-2007, 10:29 AM I got my car in november of 2005 and its still spittin. I dunno if they fill it up when i go in for service or what but ive never put any fluid in it. oldsskool 01-25-2007, 10:32 AM Do we not have a DIC light for an empty tank? I thought my squirters were frozen or something, turns out I was bone dry, 1 bottle and I couldnt even see the fluid in the tank! haha SS_Canuck 01-25-2007, 11:32 AM Almost 20months since purchase and have never ran out or re-filled my washer fluid. 1BadBlueSS 01-27-2007, 02:53 PM ok next time I run out...which is normal....cause I hate a dirty windshield, I will measure the amount of fluid I put in it! marquis 01-27-2007, 04:00 PM ok next time I run out...which is normal....cause I hate a dirty windshield, I will measure the amount of fluid I put in it! I've done it today: exactly 4 liters (1 full jug)! CgSS06 01-27-2007, 04:04 PM i bought my car in March and just refilled it. I only bought a gallon and it took it all i i belive it was still thirsty. RBC 01-27-2007, 04:19 PM I got mine in July of 06 and use mine ALLOT and have not ran out yet. I was just thinking about checking it the other day because I thought there was no way this thing is not close to empty with as much as I use it. Now that I said something it will run out very soon I just know it. plyboy-illest 01-27-2007, 04:20 PM ye ai have never filled mine yet either!!! it holds ALOT!! Cirrus 01-27-2007, 04:31 PM I've done it today: exactly 4 liters (1 full jug)! Canadian washer fluid jugs must be different than ones in the USA. Although I'm not sure of the exact size, mine was still very thirsty after 1 full jug. HackAbuse 01-27-2007, 04:33 PM I fill mine once a year Dead Zen 01-27-2007, 04:35 PM I too have had mine since May and have yet to refill it g5mike 01-27-2007, 04:35 PM lol,I still have not filled mine either. HighPSI_LowCC_Speed 01-27-2007, 04:44 PM i bought my car here in San Diego and the dealers must have been filling it with water, because when I went cross-country, it all froze in Albuquerque. Then it took me about 2000 miles before I could get it all melted/flushed out and filled back up with the -20F stuff. And yes, it took two full jugs (I think our jugs are like 3L here in US) for me to even see the fluid line. So, to you here in the southwest, be careful when travelling to colder regions. I was quite the road hazard not having washer fluid capabilities in Colorado with salt/sand/snow on the road. I would have to get up real close on the ass of a semi so I could "wash" my windshield with his spray. :lol: p7x 01-27-2007, 04:55 PM :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:. I said the same thing this summer than realized that everytime you go into the dealership for anything....anything they fill up ur fluids. I have never put WF in my car EVER. had it for almost 2 years now. fastSS06 01-27-2007, 05:06 PM i fill mine just about every other day.....lol, meth injection with 5gph nozzle ftw TVS_SS 01-27-2007, 06:02 PM I'd dump it before going to the track.. If it truly is 2 gallons.. thats ~14lbs.. thought 01-27-2007, 06:11 PM Yeah, these cars do have huuuge resevoirs for washer fluid. I wasn't too surprised though cause when I worked at Walmart changing oil a few years back, we used to dump a whole 4L jug of that stuff in the Cavaliers and Sunfires. My buddy and I were quite impressed that GM finally got rid of the need to carry a half empty jug around in yer trunk, lol. - Kinda like "why did it take car makers this long to think of that" JonyyB 02-01-2007, 12:02 AM crap, this reminds me I got to go fill mine. Mine lasted over 6 months, but I only use it in the snow splink 02-01-2007, 09:05 AM mine took 1.5 gallon when i finally ran out |
