www.familyhandyman.com/article/windshield-wiper-fluid-color"Blue: Standard year-round fluid, effective for dust and road dirt. Green: Summer driving, effective bug remover. Orange: All-season with deicer, effective against ice and road salt. Yellow: Winter with deicer, effective melting ice off the windshield with freeze protection up to -34 degrees. Purple: Concentrated wiper fluid mix for summer." My notes: I didn't realize there were different colors! What color do you use the most? Do you use the correct one?

I knew there were different colors, and some did more than others. Just thought companies made them colored to be different, not that the color meant anything particularly specific. I have some that is for cold temps and deice, but in the summer I just use the blue, it's the cheapest. And I use Rain-X too, and that helps.

When I take my car in they just refill it for me, otherwise I get the orange stuff since I want to keep the ice off my windshield during winter.
