Default Confirmation of difference between US windshield washer bottle and CDN version

I had always heard that the CDN bottle was much larger than the US version and now I can confirm this is true. I need to replace my CDN bottle because it was cracked in an accident. I orderd one off of ebay and it was from a USDM car. When it came I was surprised about the size difference. See pic. I guess my car is a couple of ounces lighter now.

*Goes on ebay and searches for CDN windshield washer bottle* On a serious note I wouldn't mind a bigger bottle. I hate running out.

but you know what pisses me off about the CDN bottle? .....you buy a jug of fluid when you're completely out right? ...go fill up the resivoir .. it looks as if it's going to take the whole bottle... nope, it leaves you with a TINY little bit of fluid.... lol. they couldn't make it half a litre bigger? i bet those japanese guys did this on purpose.. those bastards.

Mine used to take a whole bottle as well when it ran completely dry. I guess I will miss the extra capacity but it was better than having one that leaked out every couple of days.

I think it is about 2 inches shorter but I don't have them to measure. You can probably estimate from the picture. Here is another angle.

lol, wtf?! Well, i guess we could sell USDM ones to you canadians who are into the "weight reduction".... but then again if you are that gangster about it, you'd prob remove it completely.
