Last time I had the '14 Explorer in the shop for the recall to check toe links, they "helped" me by topping off my windshield wiper fluid.

It'd been a few months but couldn't have had much alcohol evaporate out, because I seldom take it out in bad weather, haven't used the washers since then, so it was full still.

Even so, wanted to make sure all vehicles were ready for cold weather, so took a sample out, put it in a sealed container in the freezer. Nearly frozen slush. It's not even good down to 10F! Now have to siphon out... maybe a gallon(?) to replace with the standard -20F formula.
