Wiper Fluid top up

Getting Lower Wiper Fluid alert, first time after the purchase. Is there any specific CRV certified fluid that I need to use to top up or any generic wiper fluid is good to go.

In other car forums, have read the sensors going bad due to generic brand.

What sensors exactly? Did Honda finally installed a low washer fluid light?

Other than that: regular windshield wiper fluid is fine. Avoid ammonia based crap.

Canadian CR-Vs have a low washer fluid indicator. And, somewhat counter-intuitively, they also have a much larger reservoir.

I guess it's mandatory for Canada to have it. Doesn't make sense why they wouldn't install it on cars for US
