How Many Liters of Transmission Fluid Does the Baojun 510 Need?
2 Answers
For the Baojun 510, if you are manually changing the transmission fluid (gravity method), you will need to add four to six liters; if you are using a fluid exchange machine, you will need to add approximately nine to twelve liters. Different vehicle models have different replacement intervals. Below are the recommended replacement intervals for transmission fluid: Manual Transmission: Manual transmission fluid is generally recommended to be replaced every three years or around 100,000 kilometers. Automatic Transmission: Automatic transmission fluid is generally recommended to be replaced every two years or around 40,000 kilometers. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): CVT fluid is generally recommended to be replaced every two years or around 60,000 kilometers. The methods for changing transmission fluid are as follows: Loosen the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old fluid, then refill with new fluid. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain the old fluid and refill with new fluid: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it allows for the removal of debris at the bottom of the oil pan. Use a circulation machine to change automatic transmission fluid: A smart circulation machine can perform dynamic fluid exchange, filtering and cleaning sludge and debris inside the automatic transmission.
Last time I helped my friend change the transmission oil for his Baojun 510. For the manual transmission version, it required about 1.8 to 2 liters. For the AMT automatic version, it needs slightly more, around 2.5 liters. When changing the oil, pay attention to using the manufacturer-recommended 75W-90 grade oil. Adding too much can cause oil seal leakage, while adding too little won't provide sufficient lubrication. It's best to add the oil when the car is cold. After adding, start the engine and shift gears a few times, then check the dipstick level. Generally, it should be changed every 20,000 kilometers. After the change, I clearly felt smoother gear shifts. Older cars especially need regular maintenance.
