Stupid question really but how do you know what level is in the window washer bottle and how much do you put into it to bring it back up?
Yes you get a low level warning, I have just thought it my be on the cars fitted with xenon head lamps only. Someone please correct me if I am wrong
Cemerson do you think it's only with the xenon lights?
Filled mine up for the first time the other week and takes about 1 gallon (4.5 litres - or two 4 pint plastic milk bottle containers) to top it right up, and before anyone says I did not fill it up with milk
It warns you with a symbol on the DIS and a beep which is ****** annoying and kicks in every 1 - 2 miles on the road and annoyed me so much I pulled off the road and topped the level up with the remains of a bottle of water I had in the car until I got home.
P.S My 8P with standard Halogens also had the low level indicator in the DIS....but without the beep
Ok, think about it, does spraying oil mixed with water onto your windscreen sound like a good idea?
I can't see how the washer fluid would be allowed near the bearings anyway, even if it has 'lubricant'. I think the recommendation to use their own is more to do with the spray jets getting blocked...

But oil doesn't mix with water. The oil would just float on top in the reservoir unless you used an agent to make an emulsion. Then you're likely to get gunk building up in the system and clogging the jets.
In Finland we have it (low level warning) as a standard even on the 20years old toyota corollas. Is this feature only on the cars in the nordic countries with the sleety muddy roads where u have to fill it up several times during the winter? And ofc we're always adding some antifreeze fluid mixed with the water, do you do this in the UK?
Yeh, but £2 for 5l pre mixed vs £5 for 1l concentrate? I'm not complaining.
