What is the model of the original antifreeze for the Baojun 510?
2 Answers
The antifreeze for the Baojun 510 is the original antifreeze from SAIC-GM-Wuling. Below are the relevant details: 1. Antifreeze: The full name of antifreeze should be antifreeze coolant, meaning it is a coolant with antifreeze properties. Antifreeze prevents the coolant from freezing and cracking the radiator or damaging the engine cylinder block during cold seasons when the vehicle is parked. In regular vehicle maintenance, the engine antifreeze should be replaced every year, with higher replacement frequencies for special vehicles. 2. Basic indicators: The basic indicators of antifreeze are the freezing point and boiling point. Generally, the freezing point of the selected antifreeze should be at least 10°C below the local minimum temperature to prepare for sudden weather changes.
I remember the original coolant used in the Baojun 510 is either DF-6 or an OEM-specific coolant with a -40°C freezing point. The color might be pink or green, varying slightly across different model years. Last time I changed the coolant, I specifically checked the manual, which clearly stated that ethylene glycol-based coolant must be used, with a freezing point at least 10°C lower than the local minimum temperature to be safe. Friends in the south can use -25°C coolant, but those in the northeast must use -40°C. The original coolant should be replaced every 4 years or 60,000 kilometers. If the coolant level drops below the minimum mark, top it up with distilled water. Mixing different brands of coolant can cause chemical precipitation—I’ve seen cases where this clogged the radiator. Actually, the maintenance manual on page 132 has detailed specifications, which are the most accurate to refer to.
