I accidentially put washer solvent/ deicer in the coolant compartment instead of the washer jug, will this harm the engine? Should I be worried about this? Can I drive the car? Should I get the radiator flushed?

Hi there,

Depending on the amount, if just a little bit dint worry, But if the coolant has not been flushed for a while, well now is a good excuse to get it done.
