Prolonged use of windshield washer fluid can burn out the motor, so it's important to pay attention to the antifreeze properties of the washer fluid during winter. Precautions for using windshield washer fluid are as follows: Selection of windshield washer fluid: The type of windshield washer fluid used varies depending on the season and climate. The usage primarily depends on temperature. For example, in winter, the washer fluid needs to have antifreeze properties, as regular washer fluid can easily freeze in cold weather. In summer, when there are more insects in southern regions, it's necessary to use washer fluid with insect-repellent properties. Volume of windshield washer fluid: There are generally standard volumes for windshield washer fluid usage. Different brands of washer fluid have different volume standards, so it's important to pay attention to these details when purchasing. When switching to a different brand of washer fluid, make sure to first understand its volume specifications.
