The location to add windshield washer fluid is: There is a fan-shaped pattern resembling a windshield wiper icon on the cap of the washer fluid reservoir. Simply open the cap and add the washer fluid directly. Windshield washer fluid is the common name for automotive windshield cleaning solution, which typically functions to moisten, penetrate, and solubilize, thereby serving the purpose of cleaning and removing dirt from car windows. Below is relevant information: 1. Currently, there is a wide variety of windshield washer fluids available on the domestic market, but they are mainly divided into three types (summer-use windshield washer fluid, winter antifreeze windshield washer fluid, and special-effect antifreeze windshield washer fluid). 2. Windshield washer fluid can also be used to clean other glass surfaces. Spray the product onto the area to be cleaned, let it soak for 2-3 minutes, then wipe with a soft cloth or directly use a soft cloth soaked with the cleaning solution to wipe the area until it is clear. For heavy stains, repeat the cleaning process and rinse with clean water before drying. During autumn and winter seasons, windshield washer fluid should possess excellent cleaning and antifreeze properties.
I remember the location for adding windshield washer fluid is in the front area after opening the hood. There's a small plastic container with a prominent windshield and wiper symbol on the lid, like a little smiling face! I used to love tinkering with my car, and adding this is super easy: first turn off the engine and let it cool, lift the hood and locate this container—it's often next to the brake fluid or coolant reservoir, but don't mix them up. Pour in the dedicated windshield washer fluid, not too full, and use a funnel to avoid spills. In winter, choose the antifreeze type to prevent the pipes from freezing. I found that after adding new fluid, visibility improves significantly, especially in rainy or foggy weather—it's super practical and low-cost, available at any supermarket. Developing a habit of checking it monthly makes driving safer and prevents nozzle clogs that could lead to hazards.
