Nissan Frontier: Do-it-yourself - Windshield-washer fluid

Windshield-washer fluid reservoir

Fill the Nissan Frontier windshield-washer fluid reservoir periodically. Add washer fluid whenever the "Low Washer Fluid" warning message appears in the vehicle information display.

To refill the windshield-washer fluid reservoir, lift the cap from the reservoir and carefully pour the washer fluid into the reservoir opening.

For better cleaning performance, add an appropriate washer solvent to the washer fluid. During winter, use windshield-washer antifreeze to help prevent freezing. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the correct mixture ratio.

Refill the reservoir more frequently when driving conditions require increased washer fluid use, such as on muddy roads, salted winter roads, dusty routes, or during extended highway driving.

The recommended fluid is Genuine NISSAN Windshield-Washer Concentrate Cleaner & Antifreeze or an equivalent product.

CAUTION

• Do not substitute engine antifreeze coolant for windshield-washer solution.

  Using engine coolant in the washer system may damage the Nissan Frontier paint finish.

• Do not fill the windshield-washer reservoir with full-strength washer fluid concentrate. Some methyl alcohol-based washer fluid concentrates may permanently stain the grille if spilled while filling the reservoir.
• Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates with water to the manufacturer’s recommended ratio before pouring the fluid into the windshield-washer reservoir. Do not use the Nissan Frontier windshield-washer reservoir as a container for mixing concentrate and water.

Correct fluid selection and regular level checks help maintain reliable steering assist, braking performance, and clear visibility while driving your Nissan Frontier in everyday and severe weather conditions.
