OEM Washer Fluid

[robertrivian]

I found the OEM Washer Fluid and they sell direct to the consumer:

I would be careful with that. The Genuine chemistry website does not link to that “store” page. So someone is portraying it as “direct“ but it’s not. Probably a scam.

**EDIT: See below. @robertrivian appears to have confirmation directly from Genuine Chemistry. I would still proceed with caution. Mark Cummings also posted a link to this earlier but didn't offer much explanation about who he was or why the websites didn't match.

While I am typically unabashedly insistent upon Engineers making OEM parts to suit the vehicle, and asking people to...trust the Engineers did their due diligence...

This is one area where I genuinely do not think you're going to gain advantage using OEM Windshield Washer fluid over grabbing some RainX from Pep Boys, Advanced Auto, or your favorite big box store. This juice is NOT worth the squeeze!

I got an email directly from the original website for Genuine Chemistry. Here is what I sent and got back, look at where I sent my email:

I stand corrected. This must be why they ghosted me, cut out the middle man and distribute straight to the junkies!

It's unclear whether you get 1 gallon or 1 case of 4 gallons.

I don’t see why the big hoopla over this fluid. I can barely smell it and it doesn’t work any better than the run-of-the-mill fluid. What gives?

For $63 it better be four 1-ga jugs: “4x1 gallon per case”. Shipping to SoCal is almost $30. Bad value.

After a couple broken noses in my life I can't say I smell it any more than any other washer fluid.. or that it works better ?‍

To each their own...

If you love the smell of it and want to use it as cologne then 62.29/gal is a steal.
Conversely you can buy the run-of-the-mill washer fluid and add a couple spritz of your favorite Eue De Toilette to get that OEM-esqu fragrance in you cabin whenever you clean your windshield.
To each her/his own.

I asked Mark that question as to one or 4 gallons in the price and if it is concentrated or not. I will follow up once I get a response.

Tastes better than the other windshield washer fluids.

I am sure that people in different locations or with different driving routines/habits probably have drastically different washer fluid usage rates but one 4 gallon case would probably last me 2-3 years.

$30/year does not require a huge amount benefit to be worth it.

Anyone here have experience with the antifreeze quality of the OEM fluid? In other vehicles I have found that run-of-the-mill RainX or parts store house brand fluid that claims to be good to 0 degrees doesn't cut it. RV and marine antifreeze works much better.

Here is Genuine Chemistry answer to the number of gallons:
