Strange thing happened this morning...had my "18" Demon out for a ride....all of a sudden I noticed my washer fluid light came on..popped the hood when I got home...low and behold ..added a gal of washer fluid...now I checked the floor..the car..everywhere...no signs of leaks anywhere..the only thing I can think of..is evaporation..I then checked my "16" HC..not empty but very low...now I never have used the squirts on either car ever...I assumed both cars were full @ delivery..(I never checked...after all who checks that)...is it possible a gal of that stuff could evaporate in 7 yrs...I mean WTF...:unsure::unsure:

I don’t believe the washer fluid could evaporate with the lid closed?

My thought as well...but it is gone...or maybe it was never really there...

I'm about to fill the rear reservoir on my tractor for at least the second time.

Being out in the open it's easy enough to see what the level is, and it seems to lose its contents about every five years. Nope, have never used the washer.

And I think it was the '18 Challenger that told me the level was low in it. Never used that washer either.

I'll have to check mine, I've never used them on the Hellcat, prob empty after 9 years unless the dealership has been topping it off.

Uh, oh. I wouldn't use the washer until you have verified that they didn't add ATF or brake fluid to it.
