Hi there,

I wanted to know if the windshield(front/back) washer fluid is some special fluid used in the above model or can we just use plain water to re-fill it up.
& is there any way of knowing the fluid needs re-fill(except for one it stops coming), any indications on the instrument panel or so.

Thanks.

It is plain water mixed with a screen wash additive, so yes, you can top up with water. If you want to maintain the additive concentrate, any car shop such as Repco etc and most service stations stock washer fluid additive.

Thank you.
What is the recommended option- plain water top-up or screen wash additive and any indications to see the level has gone down.

Most people top up with plain water and rely on the servicing garage to add the additive when the car is serviced, but as I said, you can purchase additives and add when you top up with the recommended amount as indicated on the bottle. This is the recommendation.
