I believe so, but better yet (if your car will not be subjected to freezing temperatures) is to just use water. WW fluid contains VOC's which contribute significantly to pollution.

Noooo don’t use water unless you’re in a climate that NEVER freezes. I drove my grandpa’s car to Utah from Seattle and used the wiper fluid as I was coming down snoqualmie pass and froze the whole windshield because he had put water in and I almost died. DO NOT use water unless you’re 100% sure your car will never be in freezing temperatures.
And to answer the main question, you should be good to use any wiper fluid.
