Default What's the size of the windshield washer reservoir?

I'm adding some RainX to my wiper fluid, and it says add 4oz per gallon. I'm thinking maybe the reservoir is around a quart? Don't know why I think that, it's just an unedumacated guess. Nothing in the manual, and a brief online search turned up nothing.

It's a 2014 CR-V, if that matters.

TIA.

2.6 gallons? That's crazy talk. That's a huge amount, plus it would weigh around 20 pounds full. I doubt Honda would have a tank that size when they were trying to lose as much weight as possible to get the mileage up.

I just drained mine, using tubing- it was full when I started, and I got a little under 8 cups, i.e. 2 quarts, i.e. 1/2 gallon. I may have not been able to stick the hose all the way down to the bottom, but still...

Thanks anyhoo. Guess I could have just drained it myself to find out, but I didn't relish sucking on that hose to get it started.
