IS250 Screen Wash Capacity?

[McShmoopy]

Hi guys

ive had a look in the owners manual and the interwebs and it’s not clear what the capacity for the screen wash tank is. Does anyone know? I seemingly fill this up endlessly and it never seems to last long enough!

I think it must be something like 6-7L.

It can certainly take a full 5L bottle of screenwash once the low level warning has appeared.

That’s helpful cheers mate! Going to try diluting it and get at least 6l in

Yes and it seems to use it all in 4 washes if you have headlights on... 😄

Managed to fill it up, added half my screen wash bottle halfway 1.25l roughly (eyeballed it) and managed to fill just over 3 full bottles of water (1l each time) so it must be between 4 and 5l full capacity as it’s bordering overflowing , thanks for the input guys

Believe me, you won't miss it...

A big red "!" warning triangle appears in the multifunction display, along with an audible sound.

most annoying sound ever 😅 the car acts like it can't function without it and goes into panic mode, reminding you very often you no longer have enough screen wash

In CT it is more than 5L. Last a long time though, with or without headlights on. Natural mineral water is good enough for me to drink so it is good enough to wash windows in. And it is cheaper than the funny smelling stuff that is sold as washer fluid.
