What brand is the original coolant for the Geely Vision X3?
2 Answers
The coolant typically used for the Geely Vision X3 is of the brand and model SH0521. Methods for selecting coolant: The basic indicators of coolant are freezing point and boiling point. The market offers coolants with freezing points of -15°C, -25°C, -30°C, -40°C, etc. Generally, it is advisable to choose a coolant with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the lowest temperature in your region. Methods to determine if coolant is insufficient: Observe the coolant warning light on the dashboard. If it lights up, it is likely due to insufficient coolant, though it could also be caused by excessively high cylinder temperature. Check the coolant reservoir. If the fluid level is below the minimum mark (MIN), do not continue driving and add coolant promptly. Check the water level marks on the coolant tank. The normal coolant level should be between the maximum and minimum marks. To determine if coolant is insufficient, observe the marks. If the coolant level is below the minimum mark, it indicates a shortage of coolant.
My family drives a Geely Vision X3. Last year during maintenance, I specifically asked the 4S店 technician—the original coolant is Shell brand, with a freezing point rated at -40°C. The cooling system in this car is quite meticulously designed; the coolant not only prevents freezing but also resists boiling and rust. The factory formulation works exceptionally well with the engine. I've observed that if the coolant level in the reservoir drops below the minimum line, you need to top it up immediately with the same green-colored product—mixing other brands can easily cause scaling. After driving 50,000 kilometers, I generally replace it every two years. When replacing, make sure the technician drains the old fluid completely, as residue can corrode the hoses. While there are so-called 'original factory equivalents' sold online, I still recommend getting it replaced at an authorized shop for peace of mind.
