Leiling's windshield washer fluid is added to the container with a washer symbol on the cap located in the lower left corner of the engine compartment. Below is relevant information about windshield washer fluid: Functions of Windshield Washer Fluid: Windshield washer fluid typically has functions such as wetting, penetrating, and solubilizing, thereby serving to clean and remove dirt. The presence of alcohol and ethylene glycol significantly lowers the freezing point of the liquid, providing anti-freeze properties and quickly dissolving frost. Selection of Windshield Washer Fluid: In autumn and winter, windshield washer fluid should have excellent cleaning and anti-freeze performance. Winter windshield washer fluid should be selected based on its anti-freeze capability, choosing a fluid with a freezing point at least 10°C below the local minimum temperature. Otherwise, it may cause the fluid to freeze or lead to issues with the washer pump.

I remember feeling quite nervous the first time I refilled the windshield washer fluid for my Levin by myself. Opening the hood and seeing so many caps was really overwhelming, but luckily I recalled my friend's advice: just look for the blue cap with the windshield and water spray symbol. Bending down for a closer look, I found it indeed in the right corner. The cap is designed like a funnel for easy pouring—just unscrew it and fill it up directly. Now, I always add a bottle after each car wash, and it's especially important to top it up promptly when the wipers aren't cleaning well. In winter, remember to switch to an antifreeze washer fluid—last year I got lazy and used regular water, which froze in the nozzles and was a real hassle to clean up. After developing the habit of doing these small tasks myself, I realized how much money they can actually save.

Last week, I just taught my neighbor how to refill the windshield washer fluid, and it's actually quite simple. Open the engine hood and you'll see the conspicuous blue cap with a windshield wiper spray icon on it, located on the left side of the engine near the windshield. I told her to be careful not to let the sealing ring fall in when unscrewing the cap, and not to exceed the Max line when pouring the fluid. I specifically reminded her that it's best to use insect-repellent fluid in summer, and in northern winters, a -25°C antifreeze type is a must. Once, I bought a cheap off-brand product to save money, but it ended up clogging the nozzles. Since then, I've only used the OEM concentrated fluid mixed with purified water. Doing it myself saves over 30 yuan compared to going to the 4S shop—every penny counts.

Last month, while helping my cousin add windshield washer fluid to his new car, I noticed some details: there are measurement marks hidden under the blue cap. To avoid overfilling, you need to look at it at eye level when adding the fluid. The location is in the engine compartment near the driver's side, and the windshield washer symbol on the cap is an internationally recognized identifier. Be sure to check it before rainy or foggy weather. Once, I encountered heavy fog on the highway and realized the washer fluid was empty, which made visibility dangerously poor. When pouring, be careful not to let the bottle mouth touch the edge of the filler opening to prevent impurities from falling in. Now, I make it a habit to check every 2,000 kilometers and also inspect the levels of other fluids while I'm at it.

Over the years as a driving instructor, I've taught hundreds of people how to top up windshield washer fluid. The Leving's filler port design is very thoughtful - the blue cap features anti-slip textured patterns and is conveniently located slightly right of center in the engine bay. For first-timers, here's how: First, release the hood latch under the steering wheel, then prop the support rod on the left side of the hood. The entire process requires no tools. Crucial reminder - never mistakenly pour into the pink coolant reservoir, as the two fluid caps are distinctly color-coded. Pour slowly to avoid spills, filling until the fluid level reaches midway between the markings. For daily use, keep a bottle of concentrated washer fluid in your trunk - it can be mixed with purified water for emergency top-ups.

Last year during a road trip, I discovered some details when temporarily adding windshield washer fluid at a service area. That blue plastic cap is located at the front of the engine compartment, partially blocked by several pipes, but the washer symbol remains clearly visible. When opening it, I felt the cap threads were a bit stiff, but a gentle wiggle loosened it. When pouring the fluid, be careful not to turn on the AC fan simultaneously to avoid dust flying into the tank opening. After returning, I compared the cleaning effects of different brands - those with active cleaning formulas indeed performed better. Now I've developed a habit of topping it up before every long journey, as clean wipers ensure safe and clear visibility.
