Where is the Nissan windshield washer fluid located?
2 Answers
Nissan windshield washer fluid reservoir is located on the left side of the engine compartment, with a washer symbol on the cap. Windshield washer fluid refill procedure: First use the wiper switch knob to completely drain the old washer fluid. Locate the washer fluid filler port, then add a small amount of new washer fluid. When the spray nozzles stop spraying fluid during the second activation, fill with approximately 4L of new washer fluid. Finally, securely close the cap to complete the refill process. Precautions for using windshield washer fluid: In dusty summer conditions, add about one capful of detergent, but avoid excessive amounts as too many bubbles can be difficult to clean. In cold winter temperatures, adding some alcohol can help lower the solution's freezing point.
Open the hood and look for the blue cap with the windshield symbol on the left side—that's the washer fluid reservoir! I couldn't find it either when I first bought my car, but later discovered that Nissans usually hide it on the left side of the engine bay, sometimes near the headlight. Refilling it is super easy, and using a funnel makes it even simpler. Remember to buy -25°C washer fluid so the tubes won't freeze and crack in winter. After filling it up, test the wipers a few times to check the spray. If the spray isn’t reaching high enough, the nozzle might be clogged—just poke it with a needle. Newbies, pay attention to the MAX line on the reservoir and don’t overfill it.
