Default 2006 IS250 Washer Fluid Alarm Quick Question

Hey guys,
For the first time ever, my fluid alarm went off. I just wanted to make sure that putting in water will be ok? I know for my other cars I use it, but those are just the camry/corolla and what not.

Thanks

I dont see a reason as to why you cant put water in it.... but....... i also dont see a reason as to why you want to put water instead of Rain-X (which is about $2.88 at your walmart.) I had the "Washer Fluid Low" sign come up on the dash and the car drank the whole bottle (1 Gallon) of Fluid.

I had gotten the "Rain-X All Season 2-in-1 Bug Remover & Removes light snow and ice"

P.S. This was literally 2 days ago.

As long as your car doesn't see cold weather. If the washer fluid freezes you might cause a leak.
