Ask for heated washer fluid at your local auto supply store. It'll be near the muffler bearing grease.

[Curious George]

You may have trouble finding heated washer fluid if you try to find it next to muffler bearing grease. Virtually all automotive muffler bearings have been factory lubed and sealed at least as long as ball joints. If you are in a rural area, your parts store may still stock the stuff if there are a lot of older cars around. If you can't find muffler bearing grease, modern high-temp wheel bearing grease will work reasonably well. You may have better luck looking for heated washer fluid near the wheel bearing grease.

Now that the clowns have given you really good advice, here's what the Owners Manual has to say (page 5-39):

Windshield Washer Fluid

What to Use

When you need windshield washer fluid, be sure to
read the manufacturer’s instructions before use. If you
will be operating your vehicle in an area where the
temperature may fall below freezing, use a fluid that
has sufficient protection against freezing.

Adding Washer Fluid
The Washer Fluid Low Add Fluid message will appear
on the Driver Information Center (DIC) when the
fluid level is low. See DIC Warnings and Messages
on page 3-54 for more information.
Open the cap with the washer symbol on it.
Add washer fluid until the tank is full. See Engine
Compartment Overview on page 5-14 for reservoir
location.

Notice:
• When using concentrated washer fluid,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
adding water.
• Do not mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid.
Water can cause the solution to freeze and
damage your washer fluid tank and other parts
of the washer system. Also, water does not
clean as well as washer fluid.
• Fill the washer fluid tank only three-quarters full
when it is very cold. This allows for fluid
expansion if freezing occurs, which could
damage the tank if it is completely full.
• Do not use engine coolant (antifreeze) in your
windshield washer. It can damage the vehicle’s
windshield washer system and paint.

I'm still laughing about the Driver Information Center. If you are going to use it as an acronym, doesn't anybody ever test saying it aloud first? Must be the same person who came up with the Programmable Network Interface Switch.

I've alwasy found it right next to the regular window washing fluid... go figure.

[silver bullet]

My dealer told me you no longer have to top off the turnsignal fluid, it is sealed like the transmission.

On a serious note, you might want to test this again; the system is meant to shut off after four sprays... if not yours has a problem.
