1 Answers
Non-freeze-resistant windshield washer fluid can damage the car, as it may cause harm to the vehicle. Non-freeze-resistant windshield washer fluid: Generally, non-freeze-resistant windshield washer fluid has a freezing point around 0 degrees Celsius. If the local temperature is low, the washer fluid may freeze, leading to issues such as the fluid itself freezing, severe cases where the washer fluid reservoir cracks, and damage to the windshield washer pump motor. Choosing windshield washer fluid: When selecting windshield washer fluid, freeze resistance should be the primary criterion. Choose a washer fluid with a freezing point at least 10 degrees below the local minimum temperature. Generally, branded washer fluids are categorized by temperature into different levels, allowing selection based on seasonal changes. Typically, 0-degree washer fluid can be used in summer, while in winter, washer fluids with at least -20 degrees or -35 degrees should be used.
