Where is the windshield washer fluid filler port located on the Axela?

The windshield washer fluid filler port on the Axela is located at the lower left corner of the engine compartment cover, with a cap marked with a washer symbol. There is a windshield washer fluid level indicator on the car's dashboard. If the windshield washer fluid is running low, this light will start flashing to remind the owner to refill it. Windshield washer fluid is a consumable liquid used for cleaning the car's windshield. High-quality windshield washer fluid is primarily composed of water, alcohol, ethylene glycol, corrosion inhibitors, and various surfactants. The Axela is a compact car under Changan Mazda, with body dimensions of 4662mm in length, 1797mm in width, 1445mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2726mm.
When I first got the car, it took me a while to find it too. The Mazda 3's windshield washer fluid filler is located on the left side of the engine compartment, near the bottom of the windshield. Just pop the hood and you'll see a blue-capped plastic reservoir with a windshield wiper symbol. Remember to top it up regularly - standard washer fluid works in summer, but switch to antifreeze type in winter. Don't overtighten the cap - last time I almost broke the clip by applying too much force. The placement is quite ergonomic, allowing operation without bending over, and the filler neck is wider than most models, making spills less likely.
As a seasoned driver who has owned three Mazdas, let me tell you that the windshield washer fluid reservoir is located at the front left corner of the engine bay. Just pop the hood and look for the small blue cap—pour directly into it. Remember not to overfill it, as the fluid can freeze in cold weather and crack the reservoir. Changing the washer fluid yourself saves you 200 bucks compared to going to the 4S shop. I top mine up every month. The most cost-effective option is to buy concentrated fluid from the supermarket and mix it with purified water. Friends in northern regions should remember to get the -25°C variant. The reservoir opening is wide enough to pour directly from large bottles of washer fluid.
