What to Do If Windshield Washer Fluid is Added to Brake Fluid?

[DeDallas]

Methods to handle windshield washer fluid added to brake fluid: In this case, you must not continue to use it and should go to a professional repair shop to replace the brake fluid. Once windshield washer fluid is added to the brake fluid, even if no chemical reaction occurs, it will dilute the brake fluid, lowering its boiling point. There is also the possibility of a chemical reaction causing the brake fluid to completely deteriorate. Below are relevant introductions to both: 1. Windshield washer fluid is a cleaning solution used to clean the car's windshield. When adding it, you need to open the hood, locate the washer fluid reservoir, and add it to the reservoir. 2. The function of brake fluid is to transmit the pressure from the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders. Since the wheel cylinders are directly connected to the brake pads, the high temperatures generated during braking are also transferred to the brake fluid. Once the temperature of the brake fluid rises to its boiling point, the bubbles produced by boiling can affect the transmission of braking force, causing the brakes to feel soft, and in the worst case, the brakes may completely fail. Therefore, brake fluid has very high requirements for boiling point.
