The reasons why you should dump the water in the car's washer reservoir are numerous, but none more important to how unsafe that water is going to make your drive in the winter months. Consider these reasons to head to the Toyota service center here at Fort’s Toyota of Pekin so we can replace all that water with some premium windshield wiper fluid.
If the water remains in the tank when the temperatures drop under freezing, it could cause the wiper water system to fail. Water turning to ice will clog the lines and could damage all the moving parts. If water freezes while in the pump, the pump could fail. Water freezes solid in freezing temperatures while the windshield wiper fluid has antifreeze and will stay liquid longer. The water may spray out of the line in freezing weather, but will turn to ice on the windshield and make it hard to see. Visit our car service center in Pekin, IL today for new windshield wiper fluid added to your washer reservoir.
