How long does the windshield washer fluid in a new car normally last?
1 Answers
New car windshield washer fluid typically lasts about one month. The duration mainly depends on the frequency of use, and there is no fixed refill cycle—simply top it up when it runs out. Avoid using tap water, as the minerals in tap water can clog the windshield washer fluid lines. If the air temperature drops below freezing, use a windshield washer fluid that contains sufficient antifreeze components. Be careful not to operate the windshield washer continuously for several seconds, and do not run the washer when the fluid reservoir is empty, as this can cause the washer motor to overheat. Windshield washer fluid also provides protective properties for the windshield and wiper blades.
