How many liters of antifreeze does the Baojun 730 require?

[VonAthena]

The Baojun 730 requires 4.7 liters of coolant for replacement. The antifreeze replacement cycle is every two years or 50,000 kilometers. Method for replacing antifreeze: First, open the liquid cap (ensure the radiator cap is tightly sealed), unscrew the cylinder block and radiator drain switches, drain the old antifreeze, and add new antifreeze. This should be done while the engine is running at low speed and warmed up. Precautions for antifreeze replacement: When selecting the antifreeze's freeze protection capability, it is best to use the same brand as the original coolant, or at least ensure it is of the same type (e.g., acidic or alkaline). Otherwise, thoroughly clean the original coolant to prevent the new coolant from deteriorating or becoming ineffective.

I've been driving the Baojun 730 for two or three years and changed the coolant once, remembering that I added a little over 4 liters. The manual says it's roughly between 4.2 to 4.8 liters, depending on the model year. Coolant isn't just for preventing freezing; in summer, it also helps with heat dissipation. If the capacity is too low, it can cause the engine to overheat and trigger an alarm, while adding too much may lead to overflow and dirty the engine compartment. I recommend checking the fluid level when the engine is cold by looking at the expansion tank's marked lines, keeping it in the middle for peace of mind. When replacing, it's best to completely drain the old fluid and avoid mixing different types, as this can cause corrosion. Change the fluid every two years to protect the engine, and pay extra attention before winter—don't underestimate this detail.

Speaking of the coolant for the Baojun 730, I think a capacity of around 4.5 liters is quite common. Checking it is simple: park the car on level ground, pop the hood, and when the engine is cold, take a look at the MIN and MAX lines on the expansion tank. If the level is low, just top it up with the same type. But don’t be careless about the amount—too little can lead to poor cooling, causing the engine to overheat and stall; too much can increase pressure and risk leaks. I’ve changed it myself, opting for ethylene glycol-based coolant, filling it up and then running the engine for a while to circulate it. Getting the capacity right saves money and ensures safety—don’t wait until problems arise to deal with it.

When I first drove the Baojun 730, the maintenance technician told me the coolant capacity is about 4 liters. Beginners are advised to check the manual or ask the 4S shop directly, don't add it randomly. Checking the fluid level is simple: open the cap when the engine is cold and look at the marked line, and take a glance every few months. I've tried topping it up myself by buying a bottle and pouring it in, but don't overfill. Make sure the coolant types match, as mixing them can clog the pipes. The capacity is crucial for engine protection. If you notice the temperature gauge rising, stop immediately and check the fluid level.

Antifreeze protects the engine from freezing or overheating. The Baojun 730 typically requires about 4.5 liters. I emphasize that the capacity must not be taken lightly – too little can lead to insufficient cooling and damage engine components, while too much can cause abnormal pressure in the cooling system and leaks. For routine checks, open the expansion tank cap when the engine is cold; the fluid level should be in the middle. If it's low, you can temporarily top it up with distilled water, but it's best to replace it with new fluid. It's recommended to use the antifreeze specifications recommended by the manufacturer to ensure accurate capacity and long-term reliability.

I changed the coolant for my Baojun 730 myself. Generally, I buy two 1.5-liter bottles and pour them in until it's almost full, totaling about a little over 4 liters. Before changing, make sure the engine is cold, drain the old fluid, then pour in the new one, and tighten the cap to prevent evaporation. Don't mix different types of coolant, for example, red and green can't be mixed together, or it will clog the system. Incorrect capacity causes many harms, disrupting the engine's temperature control. I've developed a habit of checking the coolant level every 5,000 kilometers, especially giving it a thorough inspection before winter, to extend the vehicle's lifespan.
