When should the transmission fluid of the BYD Qin be replaced?
2 Answers
The transmission fluid of the BYD Qin should be replaced approximately every 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is an oil product used to keep the gear system clean, and its functions are: to ensure the normal operation of the transmission and extend the service life of the transmission device. Taking the BYD Qin New Energy 2020 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4675mm, width 1770mm, height 1500mm, wheelbase 2670mm, and trunk volume 450l. The total motor power of the BYD Qin New Energy 2020 model is 100kw, and the total motor torque is 180nm, matched with an electric vehicle single-speed transmission.
As a BYD Qin owner for over a decade, I must emphasize the importance of regular transmission fluid changes. Based on my experience, it's generally recommended to replace it every 60,000 kilometers or approximately every four years. Just like engine oil, the fluid deteriorates over time, affecting shift smoothness and potentially causing increased transmission wear and noise. If you frequently encounter city traffic congestion with lots of stop-and-go driving where fluid temperatures run high, you might need to inspect it as early as 50,000 kilometers. My hybrid model's maintenance technicians always remind me during routine servicing not to skimp on this - a fluid change costs just a few hundred yuan, whereas transmission repairs could run into thousands if neglected. Pay attention to shift quality; any hesitation or unusual noises should prompt an immediate visit to a professional workshop to prevent major issues.
