Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hyundai require special windshield washer fluid?
No. Any windshield washer fluid you purchase at an auto parts store will work.
Do I need windshield washer fluid, or is water OK?
If you live in a place where the temperature never gets below freezing, you might get by with plain water—but even then, water doesn’t have the cleaning power of specialized cleaning fluid for removing bugs, bird droppings, road grime, and crud that collects on windshields.
Why Do I Need Windshield Wiper Fluid?
Your car’s windshield wiper fluid is part of a pump and washer system that allows it to be sprayed onto your windshield.
Windshield washer fluid (also called windshield wiper fluid, wiper fluid, screenwash (in the UK), or washer fluid) is a fluid used in motor vehicles to clean the windshield with the wiper while the vehicle is being driven.
