The tutorial for replacing coolant in Baojun 510 is: 1. Turn off the engine for 10 minutes and open the radiator cap; 2. Unscrew the drain valve at the bottom of the radiator to drain all residual coolant from the cylinder block; 3. When no coolant flows out, tighten the drain valve and the cylinder block drain plug; 4. Slowly pour new coolant into the radiator until it reaches the maximum level mark; 5. Tighten the radiator cap and close the hood. Taking the Baojun 510 2021 1.5L CVT Enjoy model as an example: The length, width, and height of this car are 4220mm, 1740mm, and 1615mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2550mm, and the transmission is a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 8 gears).
Hey, as a guy who often works on cars at home, I've changed the coolant several times and got pretty handy with it. First, make sure the car is turned off and completely cooled down to avoid burns—find a shady spot to work. The radiator on a Baojun 510 is usually at the front of the engine; be careful when opening the cap, slowly loosen it to release pressure. Then locate the drain plug or outlet at the bottom, unscrew it to drain the old coolant completely, and use a large bucket to catch it to avoid messing up the ground. After draining, flush the radiator with clean water and close the plug. Next, pour in new coolant—choose the ethylene glycol-based type and mix it according to the manual (Baojun usually uses a 1:1 ratio with water). Fill it up to the MAX line; don’t overfill. Finally, start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes—the air will bleed out automatically—then check for leaks and make sure to tighten the cap afterward. Wearing gloves and goggles is a must for safety. I use simple tools like a wrench and funnel to get the job done. After the change, check it every two to three years to avoid breakdowns.
For me, changing the coolant is a budget-friendly task. I just use a plastic bucket and funnel from home—zero cost involved. For the Baojun 510, first find a flat spot to park the car and let it cool down, then unscrew the radiator cap (watch out for steam). Next, loosen the drain plug at the bottom and let the old fluid flow into the bucket—takes about ten minutes. Once drained, check if the radiator is clean, give it a light rinse, then pour in new coolant up to the marked line—I recommend green or red ethylene glycol types, and cheap supermarket options work fine. After filling, cap it, start the engine to warm it up and circulate the fluid evenly. No special skills needed—just be quick and efficient. I usually check the fluid level every 3,000–5,000 km to spot any leaks. Doing it myself saves me a hundred bucks in repair fees—feels great. Just a reminder: choose reliable-quality coolant, or frozen pipes in winter could be a bigger headache.
