What happens when you replenish the washer fluid instead of the engine oil?

When you're operating a car, there are things you need to do on your own without having to go to the garage. One of them would be to replenish the washer fluid. Engine oil and other consumables are regularly replaced at the garage, but what if the washer fluid is out of stock?

Of course, you can go to the garage and make up. However, depending on the situation, it is not a hassle to replenish the washer fluid that is often used to the workshop.

So we're making up for ourselves by buying washer fluid that's commonly sold in the market. But at least you need to know exactly where to inject it. Because if you put it somewhere else, it's going to be a headache.

There's a huge engine photo posted on the Facebook account of the BMW Club in France. This picture shows the head cover of the engine removed. Clearly, within the engine, a shiny metal will be visible, but a mud-like object will cover the camshafts.

The reason is that there is washer fluid in the area where the engine oil should be. Occasionally, washer fluid is replenished in the anti-freeze auxiliary tank, but it is rare to place it in the engine oil. I've never imagined it and I've never known it because it's probably not yet discovered. 

But now we're showing what happens when we inject washer fluid instead of engine oil.

If you look at how it happened, a woman who owns a mini will open the bonnet and start filling it with washer fluid without a doubt when a warning light appears. Soon after, the engine room started to emit blue smoke and went to a nearby garage for inspection. The technician opens the engine head cover to determine the cause and sees this terrible scene.

The driver replenished the engine oil filler with a whopping 5 liters of washer fluid. The washer fluid is mixed with engine oil and has turned into a sludge in only a few minutes.

The valve is full of brown sticky mud and the engine block is covered with a full green slime, which is a bad situation. Even with the washing, metal parts are likely to be bent due to the huge damage and will need to be replaced by a new engine.

So, where should I put the washer fluid? 

Locations vary slightly depending on the car brand and vehicle type, and may be blue or black or yellow. However, the cap you are trying to replenish is the same shape, so you must be familiar with it.

I think this is another reminder of how important it is to make sure that the vehicle is in the right position when refilling the deficient fluid. Mini-Oner has paid high tuition, but we shouldn't have this happening again
