How much windshield washer fluid can be added to the Fit's reservoir?
2 Answers
The Fit's reservoir can hold 2.5 liters of windshield washer fluid. To add the fluid, first open the engine hood, locate the washer fluid filler port (usually marked with a corresponding symbol), and then pour in the fluid. Below is an introduction to windshield washer fluids: 1. Generally, there are three main types of washer fluids on the market: summer-specific, winter-specific, and special anti-freeze types. 2. Summer washer fluid: In addition to the basic components, it contains insect remover, which helps quickly clean insect residues on the windshield and effectively removes traces of insects on the front of the car. 3. Winter washer fluid: Ensures that the fluid does not freeze or damage car components even when the outside temperature drops below -20°C. In cold winter weather, when you need to clean the windshield on the road, the washer fluid not only cleans effectively but also helps absorb static electricity. 4. Special anti-freeze washer fluid: Guarantees no freezing even at -40°C, making it suitable for use in extremely cold regions.
I remember being really confused the first time I had to top up the windshield washer fluid for my Fit. I checked the manual specifically, which stated the reservoir has a capacity of about 3.2 liters. But in practice, you don't need to remember numbers - just pop the hood, locate the blue cap with the windshield washer symbol, unscrew it, and you'll see a MAX fill line inside. I usually buy two 1.5-liter bottles of washer fluid, and pouring in about one and a half bottles brings it close to the line. Leaving some room is especially important in winter to prevent freezing and cracking the reservoir. By the way, in summer I like to mix in some insect repellent - it works wonders for cleaning bug splatter off the windshield during highway driving, highly effective based on my experience.
