How to Replace Your Windshield Wiper Fluid
With spring on its way, now is a good time to think about replacing windshield wiper fluid for your vehicle. After a long winter of snow, ice, and sleet, the fluids in your vehicle are probably low. Don’t get stuck with an empty tank out on the road. Learn how to change wiper fluid with our easy guide below, and stop in to Ray CDJR Fox Lake for all your maintenance needs!
How To Replace Windshield Wiper Fluid
There’s no particular interval for replacing your windshield wiper fluid. How often it needs to be replaced depends on how much you use it, the typical weather conditions you drive in, and more. Running low? Follow these simple steps to replace your windshield wiper fluid:
- Pop open your vehicle’s hood.
- Find the windshield washer reservoir cap and open it. It is usually a screw-on or press-on top with an image of water spraying on a windscreen.
- Pour the windshield washer fluid into the tank until it reaches the “full” or “max” mark.
- Press the windshield washer reservoir cap down until it clicks into place, or screw the lid back on.
- Be sure to completely close your vehicle’s hood.
Don’t Forget About Your Wiper Blades
With the seasonal change currently happening, it’s also probably time to change your wiper blades. The winter was likely harsh on your old wiper blades, and you’ll want to have wiper blades that work well during spring showers. Generally speaking, the rule of thumb is that old wiper blades should be replaced every six to twelve months. However, depending on where you live or how often you drive, they may need to be replaced sooner.
The type of wiper blade your vehicle uses may also alter the replacement frequency as beam wiper blades generally outlast conventional ones. One trick to keep track of when you need to replace your old wiper blades is to get them checked every time you get an oil change.
