Is it necessary to check the level of the windshield washer reservoir regularly?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The windshield washer system is a key element of the vehicle's active safety, since it ensures proper visibility through the windshield in rain, mud or dirt. As part of basic preventive maintenance, the level of the reservoir must be checked periodically and it must be confirmed that the outlet holes (jets) are clean, correctly aimed and free of limescale or impurities. Checking it only when the engine temperature rises makes no sense, because the engine temperature depends on the cooling system and its coolant, not on the windshield washer. And filling the reservoir with a lot of household soap is a mistake: ordinary detergents produce excess foam that impairs visibility, can clog the lines and damage the wiper blades and the paintwork.
