Stock Wiper Fluid

I’m running out of stock wiper fluid. I don’t know how it smells so minty when I use it but I’m gonna to miss that. How does the cabb smell minty when I use my wiper fluid anyways? Like a hidden can of air freshener spritzes a minty smell into the vents every time I clean my windshield lol. Anyways, is good smelling wiper fluid even a thing you can purchase?

I buy GM Optikleen and mix it myself. Never paid any attention to the minty smell however

I love the way it smells! People thought I was crazy because it smells like listerine lol. I went to a dealer and they sold me the BG concentrate however, it wasn’t what was used from factory.

Wow, I learn something new every day! Now I have to go smell my washer fluid because I don’t think I’ve ever used it.

I'm sure a pizza farts smell too. But i wouldn't want to pay for it when every time you get the service from the dealer, they fill the car with fresh bug juice.����

OMG- just when you think every aspect of a vehicle has been addressed...

Like many, I might have used the washer once or twice during our 6 year relationship (admit it guys- we love these cars, in some cases, more than our wives. Length of relationship can be an influence in this evaluation- for wives or the car. I know my relationship has changed over the years, but I've been with the wife legally for 35 yrs. now. Got married at 30yrs. old). So now I've got to go out and intentionally spray some of the factory (?) windshield cleaner and see if it smells?

I'll be surprised if it hasn't all evaporated after this much time, but to be truthful my feelings for the wife haven't really changed after all these years (still not evaporated either!), so if it's low I guess I'll "top it off". Just like I do once a month with the wife, give or take a week- LOL!
Have a great week everyone and appreciate every day!

I think the scent you're perceiving might be coming from a separate air freshener or deodorizer in your car, or it could be coincidental.

Congrats to you and your beloved wife, it's always good to hear of such a success story, we don't hear about them often enough. Now go top it off!

Are you all sure you're not getting this mixed up with the blinker fluid? Now THAT stuff smells . . .

Looks like you're not the first one to wonder! Unfortunately, no one ever came back with an authoritative answer
