SERVICE INFORMATION
Acura Precision Crafted Windshield Washer Tablets (P/N 08798-TABS) offer a convenient, thrifty way to replenish windshield washer reservoirs. Just one of these little blue tablets makes up to a gallon of grime-fighting windshield washer fluid.
There's just one hitch, though: These washer tablets are for summer use only. If the temperature dips below freezing, the washer fluid freezes up. The windshield washers won't work like they should, and parts can get damaged from expansion due to freezing. Any such damage isn't covered by warranty.
As summer winds down and winter approaches, now would be a good time to switch your service customers vehicles over to Acura Precision Crafted Wiindshield Washer Concentrate & Antifreeze (P/N 08798-9025) if they're currently using the washer tablets. The washer concentrate is tailor-made for cold weather so it doesn't freeze up like fluid made from the washer tablets.
As part of your routine check to get clients' vehicles ready for winter driving, make sure you check the windshield washer concentration level. Use a commercially available windshield washer hydrometer, and make any needed adjustments.
