Default Windshield washer fluid

Does anyone know if what kind of washer fluid I should use? Can I use the stuff you can get from a parts store that does not freeze or do I have to buy the Volvo washer fluid that I think you have to mix? Thanks for any help.

See thats my concern. In the book it tells me to get this mixture from Volvo 1 part alcohol or something for the freezing temperature and all but Im sure its much more expensive that if I go Autozone or something and pick up the washer fluid there. The winter blend of course.

Yeah but remember that volvo says that because they want to sell you volvo products and it is ridiculously expensive...

but this is an example i found

http://www.thegreathardwarestore.com...393&click=2744

i don't know if its good or not but the ingredients are there...I know that these chemicals will not harm your washer fluid Box or the washer lines running to the hood..
