It’s important, before the onset of winter, to make sure our cars can handle the challenges of the winter season. Motoring expert Dick Lovett highlights something very important in the car’s bonnet that we should pay attention to—your washer fluid.

Staying Safe

It may be important to check something that is trivial and could mean life-threatening scenarios on the road.

Regular maintenance, paying due attention to key aspects such as washer fluid, and applying correct defrosting techniques will help one have a safe and enjoyable trip during the winter season.

Lovett underscores the importance of checking the washer fluid, particularly how it reacts to icy temperatures. In winter, the dilution ratios for the washer fluid differ significantly from those in the summer.
