    Here is how you check it on a Jeep. I would imagine it similar on a big truck, but you will need a lot more fluid than what he shows.

    Also don't Forget your Mattress folder. Some states will fine you big time. If they check the bunk Mattress. And its not folded up and neat.

    Blinker fluid is made from snipes.

    Only obtainable if you go on a snipe hunt. Has to be fresh to or it'll be no good.

    The rest of these would have you out looking on store shelves for it, but alas the truth is...you must go straight to the source.

    Find a local snipe hunter and find out if you can join, mos will take you along and help for like 10 bucks.

    Good luck!

    An like the other guy said...don't mix red with blue. Bad things will happen. Snipes come in red, blue, green and a off yellow. Pretty critters, shame people hunt them for blinker fluid. :(

    Sirscrapntruckalot - Save a snipe, go blinkerless.

    Once you go left handed, you'll never go right again. Trust me. From experience I know...

    to check your blinker fluid, you have to leave your turn signals on for at least 5 seconds and no more than 10 seconds. if your turn signals are on longer than that, the fluid will interact with oxygen and will emit a colorless and odorless but harmful gas (loss of vision and hearing). this is why you see a lot of drivers out there are driving with their turn signals on and all look delusional.

    at least it is not as harmful as the high beam fluid though. that will make drivers look stupid and a feeling of "im an idiot but i dont care what other people think"

    I keep all of my maintenance items together, including elbow grease and an extra 710 cap.
