Can I add windshield washer fluid right after turning off the car?

You can add windshield washer fluid right after stopping and turning off the car. It can be added at any time, as it has no relation to whether the engine is running or not. Windshield washer fluid is formed when liquid water is rapidly cooled to 165K. If supercooled water continues to cool and reaches -110°C, it becomes an extremely viscous solid, known as windshield washer fluid, which is the common term for automotive windshield cleaning solution. It is a consumable item in vehicle use. Automotive windshield washer fluid is commonly referred to as glass water. When adding windshield washer fluid, there are a few things to note. First, dilution of the washer fluid. Generally, windshield washer fluid does not require dilution, but if it is a concentrated type, it needs to be diluted. Solid windshield washer fluid also requires dilution. Second, never use tap water. Tap water contains many impurities, which over time can adhere to the rubber hoses, affecting the normal spraying function. Long-term use may increase friction between the glass surface and the wiper blades, causing scratches on the glass. Plain water can only clean dust superficially and lacks the ability to thoroughly remove dirt and insect residue from the windshield. When you notice that the transparency of your car's front windshield has diminished, spraying some windshield washer fluid can restore a clear and bright view. Especially during nighttime driving, dust on the glass can scatter light, making it necessary to spray windshield washer fluid to maintain the windshield in optimal transparency.
