O.K. another I-suck-at-owning-a-car question:

I've never had a car here in the arctic North before (it is currently 8 degrees out, -8 with windchill), and don't really know what I should be doing to get it ready for winter.

I've already observed that the window-wash sprayers don't work (I assume this is because the liquid is frozen), and I've been told I need to get antifreeze for this. When I do get that, what should I do with it? Just pour it in the window-wash fluid opening?

Is there other stuff I should be doing or be aware of?

Thanks ya'll.

They make -40C windshield washer fluid with the antifreeze like stuff already in it. I've never heard of pouring actual antifreeze into it straight. That's probably not a good thing for your car or the environment. Where are you in the north? Be prepared for square tires.
