How To Replace Wiper Fluid
We know that sometimes the road throws unexpected challenges your way, like a sudden downpour or a bug symphony on your windshield.
Fear not, this trusty guide is designed to guide you through the simple yet essential task of replacing your wiper fluid – because clear vision is the key to a smooth ride.
Step 1: Gather Your Tools
For this mission, you'll need:
-A bottle of windshield washer fluid or clean tap water
-Funnel (optional, but it makes life easier)
-Towel or rag
Step 2: Identify the Fluid Reservoir
Park your car safely, turn off the engine, and pop the hood. You'll find the windshield washer fluid reservoir easily – it's usually transparent and the cap should have the windscreen washer symbol on it.
Every car is a little different, so if you're not sure, don’t take risk, check your car manual.
Step 3: Add the New Fluid
Remove the cap from the reservoir.
Begin to pour your windshield washer fluid into the reservoir. If you're using a funnel, place it in the reservoir opening to avoid spills.
Pour the fluid in steadily until you reach the fill line – usually marked on the reservoir.
Pro tip: Keep a towel handy; spills happen, and it's all part of the learning process.
Step 4: Secure the Cap and Test
Now that the car is running again, you need to get the battery back to full health.
You can do this with a battery charger back at home if you have one.
Otherwise, you will need to keep the car running for at least 30 minutes now to make sure it starts again next time you need it. Within 24 hours (or even better if you do it now), you should run the car for about 3 hours so it gets a full charge. Driving is best, but you can also leave the car running in Park if you prefer.
There you have it – a step-by-step guide to jumpstarting your car!
