Steps to Refill Windshield Washer Fluid
                     8 Steps to  
Refill  
Windshield 
 Washer 
Fluid
Step 1:
Choose the best suited Windshield 
Washer Fluid
First things first, choose the best windshield washer fluid. Normal 
windshield  washer fluid is formulated to work in a wide temperature range 
and not freeze  in cold weather.
This is important because if wipers are used without washer fluid, it may 
cause  scratches which may lead to windshield repair or replacement.
However, if you reside in a region that often suffers subzero weather, you  
should invest in anti-freezing washer fluid. On chilly mornings, when a thin 
layer  of ice builds on your windshield, anti-freezing washer fluid can assist 
remove it.  Moreover, additional compounds found in some windshield 
washer fluids  cause rain to bounce away from the glass, improving visibility.
 
Step 2:
Mix concentrated fluid with 
water
Know that windshield washer fluid should not be made solely of water if you 
 want it to do its job. You'll need to dilute concentrated windshield washer 
fluid  with water before using it.
The concentrated windshield washer fluid can be diluted with water at a 
ratio  of roughly 1:1, much as anti-freeze. There should be about as much 
liquid as  there is water.
Also, don't forget to use only the concentrated washer fluid recommended 
for  your vehicle's make and model.
Step 3:
Try to Find Where the Fluid Tank is 
Located
Typically a washer fluid tank is attached to the wall that runs down one side 
of  the engine compartment, and it is frequently located along the firewall 
close to  the windshield. The tank for the windshield washer fluid will be 
denoted with a  sign that resembles a windshield with the wipers moving 
across it.
If you are unable to find it, read the car's manual which may have all the 
details  you are looking for.
Note: It's necessary to keep the washer fluid tank level. It will help you know 
 how much fluid is left and how much you've added. To achieve this, make 
sure  the car is parked on a level surface. If you park your vehicle at a 
mounting  angle the fluid level indicator may not be visible clearly.
Step 4:
Find the Low and High Fill Lines of the Tank and 
Label them
Once you have found the tank, you must then locate the low and high fill 
lines  that run alongside. The tanks for windshield washer fluid are typically  
composed of translucent plastic. Also, it includes markings down the side 
that  display the amount of fluid in the tank.
NOTE: If the tank for the windshield washer fluid is full, but the sprayer does  
not work, then the problem may be caused by clogged pipes or may be due 
to  the defective sensor. In such a situation, we recommend taking your 
vehicle to  a professional windshield repair/replacement service provider.
Step 5:
Pour the Fluid into the 
Tank
It's now time to turn the cap to the other side and remove it from the tank. 
Put  the cap in a secure location on one side. You should be certain not to 
place it  in some dirty area, as this may pollute the fluid.
After you have removed the screw cap, it's time to pour fluid into the tank. 
Add  fluid into the tank with a funnel. Keep pouring until it is topped up to 
the "full"  mark on the side of the tank.
Keep paper towels or a cloth handy. You can use them to clean up any 
spills  that may have occurred when you pour the fluid. Make sure to keep 
watching  the side of the tank so that you can determine whether or not it 
is full.
Step 6:
Don't overfill the 
tank
Make sure not to overfill the tank. It is because of the fact that overfilled 
tank  fluids are likely to expand upon being heated. Also, excessive fluid in 
the tank  increases the risk of a leak as the fluid expands when it heats 
from the high  engine temperatures beneath the hood. In any case, if you 
still mistakenly  overfill the tank, excess liquid can be removed with a 
turkey baster.
Now that the washer fluid tank is full grab the cap and put it back in place.  
Make sure there is no dust lodged in the cap. To ensure complete 
cleanliness  of the cap, wipe it clean with a cloth or paper towel. If the cap 
gets dusted or  obsolete, make sure to buy the new one. You may get a 
new cap at any car  parts store if the old one gets broken.
Step 7:
Turn on your Car to Check the 
Fluid
After following the steps above, sit back in your car and turn it on. To 
ensure  that the windshield washer fluid is operating as it should, start the 
engine and  activate it in the same way as you would usually. In the 
majority of the  windshield washer fluid jets, you need to press or pull the 
controls for the  windshield wipers.
If you seem not to get a hold of how to activate the windshield washer 
fluid,  then you must refer to the instruction booklet or contact 
professionals.
Step 8:
Take the Hood 
off
Last but not least, take the hood off. The button to press to open the 
hood is  usually located on the driver's side of the car, close to the door 
frame. A tiny  icon depicting the front of a vehicle with the hood open is 
typically used to  denote the release.
For the hood to drop, pull the release toward you to unlock it. When you get  
out of the automobile, don't forget to unlatch the safety latch. To deactivate  
the safety feature, press the lever located either under the hood or through 
the  front grill. Seek advice from your car's handbook if you're unsure how to 
find  the release.
