Am I really about to drop $90 on washer fluid?


Yes. Yes, I am.

The smell ? is largely from the pure ethanol contained within.

Has anyone bought the blue concentrate on Amazon and knows if it's the same stuff just color blue?

FYI, in mass quantities, it doesn’t smell good anymore….ask me how I know….

Does anyone know the mixing ratio for this to be the same strength as Rivian's original?

I created an account at GC, put the 4-gallon case in my cart, and it's $93.40 total (with tax and $25 shipping).

I'm trying to figure out how many gallons I can get out of this, with it still being strong enough to be like the original. Then I'll decide whether the price per gallon is worth it.

Thank you!

Cold climates need full strength to avoid freezing, but based on the label full strength would be illegal in some southern states. So the original fill probably varies depending on delivery location.

Looking at your profile, you are in Florida. So you can dilute it as much as you want since you don't have to worry about it freezing.

The scent seems to hold up to dilution. I diluted mine 50:50 (with a different washer fluid with stronger freeze resistance because even full strength would freeze in my climate) and I cannot detect any reduction in the scent. I suspect 4:1 would retain the scent.

It appears UPS has lost my delivery. Sigh. The saga continues…

Did you get a tracking number to your address? GC originally sent mine to the wrong place, no idea where but I never got it. I asked for status and they said "whoops, sending more."

I think the shipping details are fine. It did take a while to even ship. Bought Dec 22 and it shipped Jan5. That’s fine - holidays and such. A little longer than I think it should have taken, but not a big deal.

The package was “out for delivery” on Wednesday. Then it changed to “we’ll give you a delivery date as soon as possible”.

I had some other packages delayed this week with weather. But this one seems to have gone AWOL.

There's some good smelling UPS truck out there somewhere!
