Windshield Fluid
I have heard that there were some "specific" brand of windshield fluids that may damage the windshield fluid pump, anyone know which brands were they?
All my cars are using the windshield fluid from Costco. The brand is called Laurentide -45°C Windshield Washer Fluid, it contained IPA, isopyopyl alcohol.
Are they safe to use?
Please advise, thanks.

I use the cheap stuff. Have been for several years. Never had a problem.
As a youngster, my mom used vinegar to wash windows. Thought I'd try it in my dad's windshield washers. Don't ever do that. Vinegar corroded the entire system. He was not happy.
