Helpful Hints:

When the ambient temperature rises, do not dilute the antifreeze to save money. In addition to an increase in the freezing point, the washing properties of a diluted liquid also deteriorate sharply.

With the first frosts, there is a huge demand for anti-freeze fluid for glass washer. Some unscrupulous sellers take advantage of this to sell low quality liquids, so it is better to purchase it in advance. It is also useful to conduct a simple test. Pour some liquid into a plastic cup and place it gently in the freezer for a few hours. If the fluid is frozen or has ice crystals in it, it is not suitable for use in your car's windshield washer during the winter.
