What to Do If Windshield Washer Fluid is Added to Brake Fluid?
1 Answers
If windshield washer fluid is added to brake fluid, it must not be used any further. It is essential to visit a professional repair shop to replace the brake fluid with new one. Adding windshield washer fluid to brake fluid, even if no chemical reaction occurs, will dilute the brake fluid, lowering its boiling point. There is also the possibility of a chemical reaction causing the brake fluid to deteriorate completely. There are various types of fluids used in cars, such as engine oil, automatic transmission fluid, manual transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Each of these fluids has different functions and purposes, and they must never be mixed. If any fluid is mistakenly mixed with another, it must be sent for repair immediately to avoid potential safety hazards due to delay.
