Should Windshield Washer Fluid Be Diluted with Water?
1 Answers
If it is pre-mixed windshield washer fluid, no additional water is needed. However, if it is windshield washer concentrate, it should be diluted with water. Below is relevant information about automotive windshield washer fluid: 1. Types of washer fluid: In northern regions, choose anti-freeze washer fluid to prevent the pipes from freezing and cracking in winter before the fluid is used up. In southern areas, washer fluid with added insect-cleaning agents is sufficient. 2. How to dilute: Generally, purchased washer fluid needs to be diluted before use. Simply follow the instructions on the product manual. The capacity of a car's washer fluid reservoir is approximately 1.5 liters, so a container of 1.25L to 1.5L is suitable for dilution. 3. How to refill: There is a reservoir on the left side of the engine compartment with a cap marked with a windshield washer symbol—this is the washer fluid container. Open it and pour in the diluted anti-freeze washer fluid, but do not overfill. It is sufficient to just see the water level at its deepest point, and do not exceed the MAX mark.
