How to Replace the Coolant in Changan Eado?

Changan Eado coolant replacement method: First locate the drain port, which is located at the bottom of the radiator. After draining the coolant, you can pour in a 2L bottle of coolant and start the engine to flush it. Do not run the engine for too long—about one minute is sufficient. However, if the system is not very dirty, you can skip the flushing step and directly pour in the new coolant for use. The Changan Eado is a model under Changan Automobile, with body dimensions of 4620mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1490mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2660mm. In terms of exterior design, the front grille and lines on the front face of the Changan Eado exude an elegant and stylish vibe, while the slightly upward-sweeping lines give it a very dynamic appearance.

I often change the coolant myself. First, park the car and let it cool for a few hours - working on a hot engine can easily cause burns. Locate the coolant reservoir, usually near the engine, and slowly release pressure by loosening the cap. Drain the old fluid by opening the drain plug or using a hose, remembering to place a container underneath to catch spills. After draining, thoroughly flush the system with clean water to remove residue. Then add new coolant - use only the recommended type for Changan Eado or compatible ethylene glycol-based fluid, filling to the MAX line. Start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to circulate the fluid, then recheck and top up to the proper level. Always wear gloves and goggles for safety, and dispose of wastewater properly - never pour it into rivers (environmental protection matters). Typically needs replacement every 2-3 years or 40,000 km to maintain engine health and avoid costly repairs.

Changing the coolant seems simple but shouldn't be taken lightly. After parking your car and letting it cool down, locate the radiator cap and slowly open it to release pressure, then open the drain valve at the bottom to remove the old fluid. Take your time with this step - after completely draining the old fluid, flush the system with clean water to ensure no residue remains. When adding new coolant, make sure to choose the correct type - check your Changan Eado's manual for the specified color (usually green or red), and never mix different types as this can corrode components. Fill to the MAX line, start the engine to circulate the coolant, then check and top up the level if needed. Inspect the coolant quality every two years - replace if it appears cloudy. DIY can save hundreds in repair costs, but be extremely careful of hot surfaces to avoid burns. Proper maintenance ensures safe driving.

It's my first time changing the coolant and I'm a bit nervous, but found it's not that hard. First, wait for the car to cool down completely and find a spot to work. After locating the radiator, loosen the cap and then open the drain plug to let the old fluid flow out into a container. Don't skip the flushing step—add some water to rinse the system clean, ensuring the new coolant's purity. Pour in the new coolant using the manufacturer-recommended type and match the color—don't mix randomly. Start the car to warm it up, and the fluid level will drop; top it up to the marked line. Wear protective gear throughout the process—safety comes first. DIY saves money and is fun, but make sure you have the basic tools ready. Proper coolant maintenance prevents freezing and saves fuel.
