How do you put wiper fluid in a car?

My car isn’t giving any more wiper fluid when I push the button so I’m assuming it needs more. How do you put wiper fluid in a car?

Adding wiper fluid is one of the easiest acts of
car maintenance
you can perform on your own.
To add wiper fluid to your car, all you need to do is follow these easy steps:
  1. Purchase a jug of wiper fluid. This should only cost about $3 and can be purchased at a gas station, department store, or auto shop.
  2. Open your hood
    and look for your wiper fluid reservoir. It is usually a bright-colored cap with an icon of a windshield on it.
  3. Use a funnel and pour wiper fluid into this reservoir. Be sure to leave a couple of inches of space between the fluid and the cap.
  4. Replace the cap and close your hood.
Now that your
windshield wiper fluid
has been successfully added, take a moment to check out the
Jerry
app and see savings on your
car insurance
premium in roughly the same amount of time.
