I pulled an Ohhh $#!^

Well I finially got tired of looking at the Washer Fluid Low light in my car and decided to put some in it. Well me thinking about other things at the time of pouring, I went on ahead and poured about half a jug of Rain-X Bug Remover in my coolant overflow reservoir. Now here's the question... Do I need to flush the entire system out or just the reservoir? Or do I even need to worry about it?

P.S. Feel free to call me whatever you think is appropriate for making such a dumb move.

Hahaha that has to suck. But im not gonna call tou names cause knowing me I mightve done it

have you ran the car/truck after doing it? cranked it up? if so, fluch the entire system out.

[lilmule]

If you havnt run it ,just remove whats in the overflow.

I've done something similar. Put break fluid in the hydraulic steering reservoir..... I didn’t read the label very well.

My dad did this once in the dark. We siphoned it out and everything was fine. The car was never started either.

The washer fluid should be less dense than the antifreeze and should float on top. Siphon it out, and you should be fine as long as you didn't start the car.

And honestly, I don't know if it will even hurt your car if you left it in.

Unfortunately being in Wally worlds parking lot at the time of pouring. I had to start the car to drive it home. But I went on ahead and flushed the whole thing with distilled water this morning. So hopefully no harm done.
