How much windshield washer fluid should be added at a time? I think it depends on your reservoir capacity. Most small cars have reservoirs between 2 to 4 liters. My habit is to open the hood each time, locate the washer fluid cap (usually a blue or black plastic cover), and check how much fluid remains inside. If there's only a little left, I pour in a whole bottle of washer fluid until it's nearly full but not overflowing. Remember, never overfill it, otherwise it may leak and dirty the engine compartment. I recommend using antifreeze washer fluid in winter, while regular water will suffice in summer—but avoid using tap water directly as it can cause deposits and clog the nozzles. Regular checks can save you money, and filling it up properly ensures clear visibility for safer driving.
