Adding Washer Fluid

• Always add washer fluid only to the reservoir. Plain water can grow algae or leave mineral deposits that clog spray nozzles. Water also may freeze in cold weather. Washer fluid provides added protection from these elements.
• Check the owner's manual to verify the location of the washer solvent reservoir. Although the filler caps are usually labeled, it may be hard to differentiate between the engine coolant and washer reservoirs on some makes and models.
• Most washer fluid is sold in gallon containers. There also is a concentrated formula available in a much smaller container that is mixed with water and is just as suitable as the already mixed version.
