With the blinker fluid drain bolt reinstalled the new blinker fluid can be added to the blinker fluid bottle. You can chose from a variety of brands of blinker fluid at your local automotive supply store. You may also follow the recommended brand of type of blinker fluid that your vehicle manufacture recommends for the application. For the replacement STP brand blinker fluid will be used due to its superior lubrication and blinking capabilities over other brands. |

Remove the blinker fluid dipstick again so the blinker fluid can be added into the system. Place a funnel into the blinker fluid dipstick hole making sure that a tight fit has been achieved so no blinker fluid will leak out. Once the funnel has been installed you are ready to pour the blinker fluid into the blinker fluid bottle. Again check your vehicles owner manual to see how much fluid is needed to fill the blinker fluid system. Once you have determined how much blinker fluid is needed to top off the system it is time to pour it into the blinker fluid bottle. Pour the blinker fluid slowly as to not fill up the funnel to fast otherwise the funnel can burp or gasp for air resulting in spillage of the blinker fluid. After the blinker fluid has been added reinsert the blinker fluid dip stick and check the level of the blinker fluid to assure that the level is at the full mark indicated on the blinker fluid dip stick. If the blinker fluid level is still low add more blinker fluid to the bottle, if the blinker fluid level is at the full mark reinsert the blinker fluid dip stick and push down to make sure a proper seal has been made. |

Now with the new and clean blinker fluid it is time to check the turn signals. Flip the turn signal switch to see if they are blinking properly. With the turn signals blinking normally, look underneath the vehicle to check for leaks from the blinker fluid drain, if no leak is detected you may lower the vehicle back down onto the ground. Clean your work area and give yourself on the back for you have now changed your own blinker fluid. |
