How much windshield washer fluid can a Fit hold?
2 Answers
Fit requires approximately 2.5 liters of windshield washer fluid. Its reservoir is located at the lower left corner of the engine compartment, with a washer symbol on the cap. To add fluid, first open the engine hood, locate the wiper fluid inlet, identify the washer fluid marking, then pour accordingly. Automobile windshield washer fluid, commonly called glass cleaner, is a consumable automotive product. High-quality windshield washer fluid mainly consists of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. It possesses wetting, penetrating, solubilizing properties that enable effective cleaning and stain removal.
I've been driving a Fit for several years, and I remember the windshield washer fluid tank capacity is around 1.5 to 2 liters, depending on the model year. I measured it once when the car was new - it could hold almost two standard bottles. The fill port is under the hood, with a small blue cap near the left side that you twist open to pour. Don't pour too vigorously to avoid splashing. In winter, I recommend using antifreeze washer fluid to prevent nozzle clogging. Since I drive frequently and use the wipers often, the small tank is adequate. I check the fluid level monthly and top it up with pure cleaning solution when low - never use tap water to avoid mineral buildup. Though a minor detail, this ensures clear visibility during rainy drives.
