Yeah you just go to the store and buy the one in the big ass gallon like the rest of us..who the hell goes out actively looking for fluid to mix?

That's different. Of course you have to mix some extra alcohol content if you're ingesting. I've never seen it non-mixed for cars. I'm sure it's available, but likely very rare around here. Any costco, homedepot, lowes, gas station, you name it, always carry the mixed stuff.

Now I know.

I actually had to search for it
It's available online, but doing a quick googler search and no local stores carry the concentrate around here.

I've never even considered OEM washer fluid... I never even knew it existed until I walked into a Honda parts department and saw it for sale... For you know, 5x the regular price I pay at Walmart..


Those fuckers probably also use OEM engine oil

I guess the concentrate makes sense if you live on the Space Station or something and you *really* pay a premium for getting it shipped to you.

But just stopping by, literally, any store that sells stuff and you can get a gallon of ready-to-pour fluid for a buck or two.

Nitrogen from Costco for me



But on a less serious note:


Hydrogen because it's the lightest air

I've been using xenon because it helps with ground contact and grip and I can't afford radon.

I just 1.5x the recommended pressure to up the molecular mass to be roughly in the equivalent ballpark.

60 bucks for brand new versus xx,xxx miles or even worse kilometers ()


You'd be doing yourself a disservice !!


Cmon I know math isn't your best subject (self reported for waisism) but I'd go for the TEIN over unknown condition ISC in a heartbeat!

No, I just sand off the 20 coats of 60 year old, lead based interior paint off my walls. I get plenty in the air to fill my tires.
