How to Add Antifreeze to Changan Ono?
2 Answers
Changan Ono antifreeze addition method: 1. Drain the old antifreeze by loosening the screw at the bottom of the radiator until all fluid flows out; 2. Tighten the screw back and pour in the new antifreeze. Antifreeze, also known as coolant, prevents the cooling liquid in the car's radiator from freezing in winter due to low temperatures, which could cause the radiator to crack or damage the engine's cylinder block or cylinder head. The Changan Ono is part of the Changan Ford series, a new commercial vehicle launched by Changan Automobile. Its body dimensions are 4360mm in length, 1685mm in width, and 1820mm in height.
As an ordinary Changan Honor owner, I've added antifreeze myself multiple times and would like to share some tips. First, always wait until the engine is completely cooled before starting—wait at least a few hours after parking, or the hot liquid could spray and burn you. Open the hood and locate the round plastic expansion tank, usually marked with high and low level indicators at the front. Gently unscrew the cap—it’s best to wear gloves for grip. Use the correct type of antifreeze; Changan vehicles recommend red or green ethylene glycol-based antifreeze—never mix different colors, as this can cause clumping. Slowly pour in the new fluid, avoiding tap water or different types, and fill between the MIN and MAX marks. Finally, start the car and let it run for a few minutes to circulate the fluid and stabilize the level. Always check for leaks afterward—keeping up with this simple maintenance can extend your car’s lifespan.
