We dilute the water: how to switch to “antifreeze” for a windshield wiper of a car

In winter it is ‘fresher’ in front of the shop window, there are rows in tire shops and in the morning the asphalt is already glistening from the ice. What about “no freezing”? The water still seems to be splashing and not freezing, but the day when the tense hum of engines and dry glass “melt” into each other is getting closer. How trouble doesn’t fall out of the blue, says the AvtoVzglyad portal.
Yes, winter is upon us. Friction winter tire owners are already queuing up, and good old stud supporters have taken a wait-and-see attitude, quietly hoping for an extra few weeks of cold but dry weather. Both categories frantically look at the thermometer, because in addition to mounting the tires there is another indicator of the onset of winter: the windshield washer.
When will the “day X” come, whereby each “zilch” will be paid? The Internet recommends switching to a winter washing machine as early as October, but 2022, in its general madness, gave a long and warm autumn, which made it possible to wait until the end of the first decade of November. However, the turning point could come at any time. How to predict and not pay too much?
Waving and predicting the weather by hand – the stupidest thing to do this year – we see no point in, but we’ll give a simple piece of advice: Starting today, gradually add last year’s winter windshield washer fluid to the reservoir. You don’t need to drain or refill anything, just dilute gradually.
Any, even the most expensive antifreeze contains water, but there are also alcohols that “bind” H2O – remember the trick with alcohol in the gas tank? The meaning is the same. By increasing concentration, you can survive the first frost painlessly and at a lower cost and face December fully armed.
If you surrender to the hydrometeorological center, the landscape will deteriorate: first the nozzles themselves will freeze. Where it is thin, it not only breaks, but also freezes. Warming them up is easy: some lucky ones even have heated ones, and everyone else will use defrosters or just warm items – a lighter pre-warmed or a glass of hot water will do. But after that, the pipes under the hood will already freeze. A gasoline engine will help melt them, but a “cold” diesel engine will not. You have to reinvent the wheel or spend extra money.
The tank is the last to freeze, but this requires real cold. Here you can not do without a warm garage. However, any parking lot of a supermarket, car wash and other similar establishments will suffice. However, each of the “rescues” that rid the windshield washer tank of ice takes time, and a lot of time, which you won’t have at your favorite bank. Unfortunately, not every employer can boast of a warm parking space. So today it is easier, more reliable and more practical to gradually add winter “slurry” to the windshield washer reservoir, creating a smooth transition without unnecessary costs and body movements.
