  • Fun Facts

    Windshield Wipers Were Invented by a Woman

    Answer

    Next time you’re driving in a rainstorm, you can thank Mary Anderson, who invented windshield wipers in 1903. Anderson was visiting New York City and noticed that the streetcar driver had to keep his window open in a sleet storm in order to reach his arm out of the car and manually clean his windshield with a squeegee. Anderson received a patent for the windshield wiper, but she couldn’t sell the invention to the auto companies, who claimed that the device did not have commercial value. After Anderson’s patent ran out in 1920, windshield wipers eventually became a standard feature on automobiles.

    Today, changing windshield wipers is an important part of Automotive Maintenance. Wiper blades come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and some are even heated to help keep your windshield clean in icy conditions.

    Almost 900 Million Oil Changes Each Year

    Answer

    In 2007, drivers in the United States registered over 254 million passenger vehicles. On average, Americans drive their passenger cars and trucks just over 10,000 miles per year, and they get an oil change every 3,000 miles. That translates to nearly 900 million oil changes!

    Different models of cars and trucks take different amounts of oil, but most engines require 5 to 7 quarts. That means that in one year, Americans use at least 1.1 billion gallons of oil in their vehicles. Much of this oil is reused and recycled.
