I accidentally just poured a little amount of windshield washer fluid into my antifreeze in my 2002 Nissan Sentra. Should I get the antifreeze flush or will the cooling system still work fine?

AGGGHHH!! Okay, just kidding. Nothing to worry about. The washer fluid will eventually evaporate from the reservoir.

What you CAN do that is very harmful is to add any type of petroleum product, (engine oil, transmission fluid, or power steering fluid) to the brake fluid. That is a serious and expensive problem.
