Could be a silly question :

Can we just top up the windshield washer reservoir with any type of washer
fluid, regardless what's currently in there? In summer Wal-Mart sells the
type of washer good for removing bug bodies, in winter people mostly use
anti-freeze type. Can they be mixed without damaging washer system?

Yes, the common brands are all cross compatible.

Yes, but you and Wal-Mart can't be mixed without damaging America.
