What to Use


Object Number: 1551247  Size: B3

When you need windshield washer fluid (Saturn P/N 01051515), be sure to read the instructions before use. If you will be operating your vehicle in an area where the temperature may fall below freezing, use a fluid that has sufficient protection against freezing.

Adding Windshield Washer Fluid


Object Number: 830009  Size: A1

Open the cap labeled "WASHER FLUID" and add washer fluid until the tank is full.

Notice: 

   • When using concentrated washer fluid, follow the manufacturer's instructions for adding water.
   • Do not mix water with ready-to-use washer fluid. Water can cause the solution to freeze and damage your washer fluid tank and other parts of the washer system. Also, water does not clean as well as washer fluid.
   • Fill the washer fluid tank only three-quarters full when it is very cold. This allows for fluid expansion if freezing occurs, which could damage the tank if it is completely full.
   • Do not use engine coolant (antifreeze) in your windshield washer. It can damage the vehicle's windshield washer system and paint.
