Wiper Fluid Gone Bad?

[Tonyrodz]

How's it taste?

I wrote them and they quickly responded saying they were sorry for my troubles and included a $10 Coupon for any Peak product. They also said they could investigate further if I sent them pictures. So I'll do that. Other than a lab actually looking at it I don't know what they can tell me. But I at least appreciate their fast response.

Yeah.....not going there!

I've never used summer blend washer fluid. I always use one with a - 20 rating. A gallon jug contains about 30% methanol and I also use it for the meth injection on my blown mustang.

That's what kids are for. They have fresh immune systems.

I've seen some crazy things growing in places you wouldn't expect. This - very strange.

Because I have never heard of this happening, I had to do a quick search. Believe it or not, windshield washer fluid does expire. Guess what one of the signs of the fluid being beyond its shelf life:

Symptoms of an Expired Windshield Wiper Fluid​

As we already mentioned, windshield wiper fluid doesn’t go bad easily. However, some telltale signs will let you know if it has already expired. Here are some:

Lumps in the Fluid​

One of the most obvious signs is the presence of lumps in the fluid. If you notice that the fluid has already separated into different layers, it’s best to dispose of it and get a new one.

Fluid Has Changed Color​

Another thing you should look out for is a color change. If the fluid has turned murky or darker than usual, it’s already expired. The dark color results from the accumulation of dirt and debris in the fluid.

Fluid Smells Bad​

If the fluid smells bad, it’s no longer safe to use. The bad smell usually results from the growth of bacteria in the fluid.

Forgot to add

Urge to mouth-kiss ANYONE, or barf into shared beverage containers (coffee pots punch bowls) to facilitate the bio-colonization of the human race

Strange. Usually it never sits on my shelf long at all. My wife goes through washer fluid like crazy. But, it was an opened bottle.
