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 read somewhere from other MB forums (cannot remember which one), someone put the orange RainX and clogged up the washer pump and had to replace it from own wallet even still with MB factory warranty. The dealership denied warranty claim if you put in non-approved windshield fluid.

I found this regarding RainX: http://vancouverisland.mbca.org/tips...-washer-fluids
Then again most on this thread love RainX

Uh oh, I just bought 2 gallons of that stuff. I haven't opened the box yet so I guess I'll be returning it to Costco.

. However, I am running out of the BMW windshield fluid very soon, I will switch to buy the Laurentide -45°C Windshield Washer Fluid from Costco.
