Do New Cars Need Windshield Washer Fluid?
1 Answers
New cars come with windshield washer fluid pre-filled from the factory, so there's no need to replenish it yourself. After using the new car for some time, if the windshield washer fluid warning light on the dashboard illuminates, it likely indicates low fluid levels, at which point you should add proper windshield washer fluid yourself. Windshield washer fluids are mainly categorized into three types, as described below: 1. Summer-specific: This type contains additional insect dissolving agents in its formula, enabling faster removal of insect residue from the windshield. 2. Standard winter washer fluid: Also known as anti-freeze washer fluid. This type typically ensures the fluid won't freeze and damage car components at temperatures below -20°C. 3. Premium anti-freeze washer fluid: This variant remains unfrozen even at -40°C, making it suitable for extremely cold regions.
