I hope yours doesn't freeze up like mine has in the past with the truck. But my solution is a little easier and cost effective than Anthony's. The boy takes the truck to work, leaves it in the shop for a couple of hours to thaw out, drains it and replaces with winter fluid. Cost.........$1.99.

This has happened to me before Anthony, but it was from my own negligence. In the spring, you typically need fluid for the snow melt and salt on the roads. Spring is warm enough to put in summer fluid. Thru the summer, you need the summer fluid to help with the bug accumulation. But come fall, you forget about it and with a full bottle of summer fluid, it stays in there until you might need it in the winter, and then it's too late. I get my fluid drained now every fall.

But putting water in........WTF were they thinking. It's suppsed to be free washer fluid top ups. Not water the f***tards.

And from there website............

Free Fluid Top-ups
...with every oil change! If our 21-point courtesy check shows low levels of Engine Coolant (Antifreeze), Power Steering Fluid, Automatic Transmission Fluid, or Windshield Washer Fluid... we'll top them up, no charge! (some limits apply)

I'd say they are at fault. Sue the bastards!
