Where is the windshield washer fluid reservoir located in the Chevrolet Malibu?

The windshield washer fluid reservoir in the Chevrolet Malibu is located at the lower right corner of the engine compartment, marked by a black cap with a washer symbol. The steps to add windshield washer fluid to the Chevrolet Malibu are as follows: 1. Turn on the windshield washer switch to spray out the old fluid; 2. Once the spray nozzles stop spraying, open the washer fluid reservoir cap and add a small amount of new washer fluid solution; 3. Turn on the windshield washer switch again to flush out any remaining old fluid; 4. When no more fluid is sprayed from the nozzles, continue adding the new washer fluid. The Chevrolet Malibu has a body length of 4859mm, width of 1854mm, height of 1463mm, and a wheelbase of 2738mm.
I just started driving a Chevrolet Malibu, and finding the windshield washer fluid reservoir was quite interesting. After opening the hood, it's located on the right side of the engine bay, near the driver's seat. The blue cap is particularly noticeable, with a windshield wiper and glass icon on it, and it opens with a simple twist. The first time I added fluid, I was a bit flustered and poured too much, causing some overflow, but thankfully it wasn't a big issue. Now that I'm used to it, I think the design is quite thoughtful—the position is neither too deep nor too shallow, making it easy to reach. I recommend that beginners practice a bit and choose high-quality antifreeze washer fluid, especially in cold winter areas, as the tubes can freeze and block the spray otherwise. Remember, the engine bay has high temperatures, so don't misplace the cap—just keep it tightly secured. I check the fluid level weekly and top it up when low to ensure clear and safe driving visibility.
