Car adding windshield washer fluid symbol is a sign resembling a windshield spray. Below is an introduction to relevant knowledge about windshield washer fluid: 1. Definition: Commonly known as automotive windshield cleaning fluid. It is a consumable item in vehicle usage. High-quality automotive windshield washer fluid is mainly composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. Automotive windshield washer fluid is commonly referred to as glass water. 2. Function: When the transparency of the front windshield decreases, spraying some windshield washer fluid can provide a clear and bright view. Especially during night driving, dust on the glass can scatter light, at which point it's necessary to spray some windshield washer fluid to keep the front windshield in optimal transparent condition.
When repairing cars, it's common to encounter owners who can't locate the windshield washer fluid filler port. In fact, the most noticeable feature under the hood is that blue cap. The cap usually has either a water spray-shaped symbol or a windshield with wiper pattern, often accompanied by wavy lines indicating liquid. German cars typically place it in the right corner of the engine bay, while Japanese cars might position it near the left shock tower. New drivers should look for two key features: the blue cap and fan-shaped symbol are definitive indicators. Before adding fluid in winter, always shake the washer fluid container - only the type with a -25°C freezing point won't crack the pipes.
Last week, my best friend made a funny mistake when adding windshield washer fluid to my car—she poured it into the red coolant reservoir. Here’s a tip for you: After opening the engine bay, don’t panic. Look for the smallest blue cap with a sketch resembling ☠️ raindrops splashing on glass. Some cars, like my Toyota, even have the words WASHER FLUID written directly on the cap, which is more beginner-friendly. Remember to only use dedicated windshield washer fluid. Last time I tried to save money by using tap water, and the wiper blades wore out in just six months—totally not worth it.
