Window washer fluid should take a full gallon when it warns of low fluid.

Hi there! Would you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership name and location? I’d like to look into this concern on my end.

Or just wait until the washer fluid stops coming out —then the whole gallon fits. I only seem to be able to use the fluid about 3-4 times before the low warning and the next use pretty much empties the tank. When I get the low warning I find a gas station and wash the window as I enter the parking lot—tank empty; problem solved.

Please stop injecting common sense into this.

I've never seen the light . I'm probably a bit OCD.

The washer fluid gets filled every couple of weeks whether it needs it or not along with a few other vital fluid checks. If it took the full gallon, I'd just open another one to make sure it is topped.

When the weather turns to crap, the washer needs to work. You can go through quite a bit in just one trip on a sloppy road. It really sucks when it runs out.

Or, here is a thought. The windshield washer fluid manufactures can make a jug that contains 3/4 of a gallon.

And maintain the price for a gallon.

Which brand of washer fluid works best for you folks in the colder locations? It rarely gets into the teens here, but when it does the locally sold washer fluids just ice over the windshield.

Orange Rain-x.

Welp! This pretty much confirms @Ford Motor Company is a bot. Ford, hire a few more social media specialists. Sheesh!

I view the warning as just that. I usually replenish w/24-48 to hours and including some washer use and have always filled up a gallon.

I find this whole thing pretty bizarre. I’ve always done my own routine maintenance, so I topped off all fluids when I changed oil. I always kept 2 bottles of fluid on hand. When one emptied, I’d buy another one. I don’t give a rat’s a$$ what size the reservoir is.

The only difference now is with no oil changes, I’ll have to put a
reminder on the calendar to top off. Or maybe not? Who cares?

Ive never had a low fluid light come on.

Always Rain-X; having driven long-haul through a few freezing-fog events, and buying gallons every few truck stops, the Rain-X has consistently had significantly less windshield-freezing vs. anything else. I won't buy anything else now. Sadly Shell and Costco no longer stock it; Canadian Tire is hit-or-miss.

Don't ruin it for me. I got a very "personalized" PM from Ford which helps me sleep at night. In all seriousness, I am on my way to locate the refill area for washer fluid.

Yeah, this is the one. There’s a purple one as well, can’t recall the brand, but I always get the -30F rated stuff. And it’s best to top it off before taking a vehicle in for service because they’ll always top it off with the other cheap stuff that freezes around 15 degrees or so. I know some places like Costco no longer carry Rain-X brand. I get it at WalMart and Home Depot just fine.

I also keep a quart/litre sized spray bottle with this stuff or similar ice cutter in my frunk tool box. Sloppy mountain driving conditions can quickly turn to an icy mess and it helps to be able to clear off these LED headlights that don’t generate much heat.

Either a bot or some intern that knows little to nothing about cars/trucks. That’s been my impression for some time now.
