Where is the water filler port for the Hyundai Elantra?

For the Elantra model, if you need to add windshield washer fluid, you should open the engine hood and locate a blue cap. Open the cap and add the fluid directly. If you need to add engine coolant, you should find a metal radiator cap in the engine compartment. Open the radiator cap and add the antifreeze directly. Below is some relevant information: 1. The radiator is a crucial component of a water-cooled engine. As an important part of the engine's cooling circuit, it absorbs heat from the engine block to prevent overheating. Due to water's high specific heat capacity, its temperature rises after absorbing heat from the engine block. 2. The engine's heat is transferred through the liquid cooling circuit, using water as a heat transfer medium. The heat is then dissipated through large cooling fins via convection to maintain the engine's optimal operating temperature.
I've been a car mechanic for eight years, so listen up—there are several fill ports on the Elantra, and you need to know the difference. The coolant reservoir is on the right side of the engine bay, a white translucent plastic tank with a thermometer icon on the cap. The windshield washer fluid tank is on the left under the windshield, with a blue cap marked by a spray symbol. Don’t mix them up! Last week, some guy poured mineral water into the coolant reservoir, and the whole cooling system had to be flushed—cost him over 800 bucks. The engine oil fill port is a black knob on top of the engine, and the brake fluid reservoir is a small black square box against the firewall near the driver’s side. Always turn off the engine and let it cool completely before adding fluids, and slowly twist open caps to release pressure first.
