Any preference to windshield washer fluid

I'll be needing to top off the ww fluid before & during the winter months. Any good suggestions or just the old blue gallon (-10) at the general store

I use the Rain-X branded stuff as I find it does extend the life of my Rain-X application w/o having to redo it again by hand. It also works well at bug cutting, ice melting etc (depending upon which one you purchase)

Anything as long as it has -40 on it

I just use whatever blue stuff is on sale then add a little rubbing alchol to it to lower the freeze point.

mostly blue.... then rain x additive... then as it starts to get colder start adding in some of the better colder stuff -35 -40. had the back and front freeze up on me last winter... took a couple of days before I could get them to work... so now little bit of extra protection
