Replacing the coolant for the Baojun 510 is actually quite simple, and I can do it myself at home. First, let's talk about the tools you'll need: you'll have to buy a bottle of new coolant that matches the original factory specifications—generally, a universal green type will do, costing around a few dozen yuan per bottle. The tools required are just a basin or bucket to collect the old coolant and a wrench to open the drain plug.
First, let the engine cool for at least an hour—never attempt this on a hot engine to avoid burns. Then, open the radiator cap or expansion tank cap to release pressure. Locate the drain plug at the bottom of the radiator under the car and unscrew it to let the old coolant drain out. Don’t dispose of the old coolant improperly—take it to a recycling point.
After draining, it’s best to flush the system with water to ensure no impurities remain. Then, reinstall the drain plug and slowly pour the new coolant into the expansion tank—don’t pour too quickly to avoid air bubbles. Start the engine and let the car idle for a few minutes until it reaches normal temperature, then check the coolant level and top it up if needed. The whole process takes about half an hour, and doing it yourself can save you around a hundred yuan in labor costs.
Finally, a reminder: coolant should be replaced every two years to protect the engine from corrosion.
