Keeping your windshield wiper fluid reservoir full is an important part of basic vehicle maintenance. Fortunately, refilling your wiper fluid is a simple task that only takes a few minutes.
Simple, Quick Steps to Refill Wiper Fluid
- Open your vehicle's hood and locate the windshield wiper fluid reservoir.
- Check the fluid level in the reservoir. If it is less than full, it's time to refill it.
- If your vehicle requires a specific wiper fluid, use that. You can also use a generic washer fluid or a mixture made for de-icing.
- Remove the cap from the windshield washer fluid reservoir. Place the cap in a secure location so you don't misplace it.
- Carefully pour the fluid into the reservoir opening until it reaches the "full" line. Take care not to overfill it.
- Replace the cap and close it firmly. Make sure the cap is fully seated to avoid leaks.
