Changing a winter washer mixture to a summer one, or vice versa, may seem like an unnecessary service step, but each washer cartridge has its advantages. Why do it and how to do it?
Every year, with the onset of the spring and winter months, the main talk is about changing from winter to summer tires, but you should definitely not neglect other maintenance as well. If you actively drive your car in the winter months, you should definitely not neglect a general inspection and cleaning of the exterior and interior.
There may still be residues of road salt in the mudguards and on the chassis, causing severe corrosion of metal parts and body sheets, as well as in the carpets of the cabin you may have applied dirt, which is ideal to remove. However, with regular maintenance at the beginning of spring, most drivers and car operators forget about one very simple service step that will definitely make your life behind the wheel more pleasant.
Along with changing the tires, it is advisable to change the washer fluid, i.e. the winter mixture for the summer mixture. Although it may seem like a banality, each of them has its own advantages, why it is more suitable for the given season – winter does not freeze, summer washes insects from the windshield better.
And since it’s really easy to do, we made a video for you how to do it. In addition, you can also use this procedure in autumn, when it will be necessary to replace the summer mixture with the winter one.
Good accessibility of the reservoir for washer fluid is of course an advantage, but if you have the container hidden somewhere in the underbody, don’t be sad. Mark managed to insert the hose of the same pump into such a container and pump out the rest of the winter liquid.
