windshield wiper fluid in coolant reservoir ...

Hi forum members,

Lost my head this AM and accidentally poured approximately 1/2 cup of window cleaner liquid into the coolant overflow tank. Through some cursory research, it appears it should be OK. Any thoughts from EVO X owners?

Thanks in advance!

Technically you will be okay. They are very similar. If it was my car, I would drain and re-fill with clean stuff. I am a bit meticulous about my car though.
If you love your Evo like most of us do, you should drain and re-fill

Just drain and refill the tank. Should take less than 5mins and you'll have peace of mind (which is priceless)

That tank lifts straight up (just slides on to the bracket). Disconnect the hose and drain. Re-install and fill.
