Washer fluid
A number of years ago I got some Porsche washer fluid that was orange in color. Wondering if anyone knew if that is still current? Not sure what color fluid is being used now and /or if that matters? Wonder if the ingredients have changed? Wouldn’t want it to precipitate and clog anything. Thanks

Don't think the color matters but if you prefer orange Rain-X makes it and it's available locally at auto-parts stores, Home Depot etc..

There’s ‘Porsche’ fluid? 
Oh my. I just use the blue stuff from Publix. Years back my MBZ dealership used to leave a couple extra bottles of some German concentrate. Both seem to work well enough, but I’d be curious what’s recommended.

Washer fluid is heavy. I run empty. Save about 10 pounds and pick up 1 HP.

Really?! Rain has nothing to do with using wiper fluid. And I have a Harley and new G Wagon so I have more things to play with other than my Porsche, which I drive as much as I prefer to.

from auto geek:
Mixing Ratios:
1.5 parts Anti-Frost + 1 part water....-20°F
1 part Anti-Frost + 1 part water.......... -5°F
1 part Anti-Frost + 2 parts water........11°F
1 part Anti-Frost + 3 parts water........18°F
1:1 for -5F protection. So $10/gallon. Might me a good deal for you Floridians not for Coloradans.
