What is the container for windshield washer fluid called?
1 Answers
The container for windshield washer fluid in a car is called the washer fluid reservoir. Windshield washer fluid: A commonly used automotive fluid designed to clean dirt and dust from the windshield. In the engine compartment, you can find a clearly marked filler cap with a windshield and spray symbol - this is where you add the washer fluid. Important notes: In winter, always drain all fluid completely before refilling with antifreeze washer fluid. While you can use water in the reservoir, the cleaning performance will be significantly worse than proper washer fluid, and water doesn't protect wiper blades. Summer and winter washer fluids should not be mixed as this dilutes the antifreeze properties. Never use river water instead of washer fluid as sediment can clog the pump. Even tap water contains impurities that may accumulate in rubber hoses over time, potentially affecting spray performance.
