Will Lulu Get Frozen If Left in the Car During Winter?

Lulu will not get frozen if left in the car during winter. However, the recommended storage condition for Lulu cans is at room temperature, so if the car temperature is too low, the beverage may freeze, affecting its taste. The most comfortable temperature range for the human body is between 20-25 degrees Celsius. If the temperature exceeds 28 degrees Celsius, people will feel hot and uncomfortable; if it drops below 14 degrees Celsius, people will feel cold. Therefore, it is best to keep the car temperature between 18°C and 25°C. For adjusting the car air conditioning in winter, it is generally recommended to alternate between the internal and external circulation modes. After starting the car, first activate the external circulation to expel the cold air from inside the car, then switch to internal circulation to heat the car. When alternating between modes, it is best to turn on the external circulation based on road conditions. In cases of heavy traffic, severe exhaust emissions, or strong winds and sand, promptly switch to internal circulation mode. If the car heater is turned on during winter, the temperature inside the car can be several degrees higher than outside. However, if the car is not running, the temperature inside and outside the car will be the same.
I've been driving in the north for decades, where winters are extremely cold. I always keep LuLu (the kind that's anti-freeze windshield washer fluid) in my car. If you buy a model with a high anti-freeze rating, like one labeled for -30 degrees, it generally won't freeze and is quite durable. But if you use regular water or cheap products without anti-freeze components, they can expand in low temperatures and potentially crack the reservoir or nozzles, leading to expensive and troublesome repairs. I recommend buying winter-specific windshield washer fluid from reputable brands, and after adding it, regularly check the freezing point and fluid level—don't skimp on this. Also, warm up your car before driving in winter, and take good care of it overall to save yourself hassle. Additionally, keep an ice scraper handy just in case.
I find that automotive fluids are quite meticulously designed. Take antifreeze like Lulu, for example, whose core components are ethylene glycol or methanol, which resist freezing at low temperatures, making it less likely to freeze and damage the car in winter. The key is to check the product label: the higher the antifreeze rating, the more stable it is. For instance, a -20°C rating is stronger than a standard one. However, if you use tap water or a solution with low alcohol content, it may freeze and crack the pipes below zero. During routine maintenance, I also test the pH level and concentration to ensure it hasn’t deteriorated. Related tip: When parking a vehicle outdoors in winter, keep the air conditioning or heater running to prevent frost inside the car. Combining these details ensures safety.
