Where is the windshield washer fluid location for Hyundai Elantra?
2 Answers
The windshield washer fluid reservoir for the Hyundai Elantra is located on the left side of the engine compartment, with a cap marked with a washer symbol. Steps to add windshield washer fluid in Hyundai Elantra: 1. Turn on the wiper switch to spray out the old washer fluid. 2. After spraying out the old fluid, open the washer fluid filler cap and add a small amount of new washer fluid. 3. Turn on the wiper switch again to clean out the remaining old washer fluid solution. 4. When no more fluid sprays from the nozzles, add approximately 4L of new washer fluid to complete the refill process. DIY windshield washer fluid tutorial: 1.

Mix in two capfuls of dish soap into the solution. (Avoid using laundry detergent as it doesn’t dissolve well and may clog the spray nozzles.) 5. Shake the solution thoroughly before use.
I've been driving a Hyundai Elantra for two years now, and the windshield washer fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment, which is very easy to find. Open the hood, stand at the front of the car and look forward, you'll see a small plastic container just below the windshield, slightly to the right. The cap is usually blue with a wiper or water tank icon printed on it. When refilling the washer fluid yourself, I recommend preparing a bottle of antifreeze-type windshield washer fluid. You can use regular water in summer, but antifreeze is a must in winter. Open that blue cap and pour the fluid in slowly. Don't fill it to the brim - stop just below the rim, otherwise it may spill out and dirty your car when driving on bumpy roads. Check the fluid level every month or two, especially before the rainy season, to ensure smooth windshield cleaning. Hyundai's design is quite thoughtful - the location is conspicuous and doesn't block any components, making it easy even for beginners to operate.
