Where to Add Windshield Washer Fluid for Lexus ES?
2 Answers
The windshield washer fluid filler port for the Lexus ES is located on the right side of the engine compartment, marked by a black cap on a white reservoir with a windshield cleaning icon. To add washer fluid, first open the front hood by pulling the hood release lever located under the dashboard near the driver's seat. After opening the hood, locate the washer fluid reservoir. The Lexus ES is a front-wheel-drive model in the Lexus lineup, with body dimensions of 4900mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1450mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2820mm.
I've been driving a Lexus ES for several years and know that the windshield washer fluid is added in the engine compartment. The specific location is on the left or right side after opening the hood, look for the small plastic container with a spray nozzle icon or blue cap. It's designed here to be close to the windshield for convenient fluid transmission through the pipes. Many people can't find it at first glance as the engine bay looks a bit messy, but the icon is very clear, and the cap is labeled with washer fluid reminder. When refilling, it's recommended to use dedicated cleaning fluid instead of tap water to avoid nozzle clogging. In winter, you must use the antifreeze version, otherwise freezing in cold weather may damage the system. I check the fluid level monthly and top it up immediately when low, ensuring clear visibility during rainy or snowy driving conditions to reduce accident risks. During regular car maintenance, remember to clean the nozzles to maintain even spray distribution.
