Where is the coolant drain hole of the Boyue?

Boyue's coolant drain hole is located at the lower part of the car's radiator. How to replace the coolant: Before completely replacing the coolant, conduct a thorough inspection to check for any signs of leakage or cracks in the pipes, with a special focus on the five-way water pipe. The five-way pipe is named for its five connections to different parts of the car, and the coolant flows through it before being distributed to various parts of the vehicle to function. If there's any leakage of coolant in this section, replace the water pipe or re-secure the connections as needed. Drain the old coolant, then flush the liquid channels with clean water. Add clean water to the coolant reservoir, then continue to pour water into the reservoir to allow it to continuously flow through the engine cooling system. Start the engine and let it idle for 3 to 5 minutes to circulate the water. The water initially flowing out from the reservoir will be slightly pinkish. Continue adding clean water until clear water flows out. Remember to disconnect the heater hose and drain the water from the heater core. About an hour after draining, add the new coolant through the radiator's hose—this allows the coolant to flow quickly into the radiator. Then, add another bottle of coolant to the reservoir until it's nearly full. Start the engine and let it run for about 10 minutes. During this time, the coolant level will drop slightly as air is purged from the cooling system. Top up the coolant to the "MAXT" mark on the reservoir.
The coolant drain hole of the Geely Boyue is usually located at the bottom of the radiator or coolant reservoir. When maintaining my car, I found that to locate it, you need to open the hood and then crouch under the vehicle, paying close attention to the area beneath the radiator. There is typically a small plastic plug or metal valve, often positioned on the right side or the lower middle edge. Before draining, make sure the engine has cooled down to avoid burns. I recommend preparing a clean container to catch the fluid and wearing gloves for safety. Remember, the coolant should be replaced every two years or after driving a certain mileage to prevent engine overheating damage. If you can't find the exact location, refer to the owner's manual or watch maintenance tutorial videos for the Boyue online. Avoid random attempts, and clean the surrounding area before starting to prevent debris from entering the system and causing blockages.
During my years of driving the Boyue, changing the coolant has been a regular part of maintenance. The drain hole is located at the bottom of the radiator, near the lower edge of the cooling fins, with a small plug. It's not hard to find: first, turn off the engine and wait for the car to cool down, then open the hood, bend down or use the car jack to lift the body and look underneath—there's a round or square cap. Be careful when loosening it to avoid fluid splashing; I just gently unscrewed it with a wrench. Coolant is corrosive, so remember to wear protective clothing and goggles. By the way, the Boyue's cooling system is reliably designed. After draining, make sure to thoroughly flush before refilling with new fluid. It's recommended to read the service guide or consult a professional technician before performing the operation—safety first, don’t cut corners. Regularly changing the coolant protects the engine and extends the car's lifespan.
My experience with changing coolant is that the drain hole is at the very bottom of the radiator, just look for the small plug or valve under the coolant tank. On the Geely Boyue model, this hole is often on the left side, making it easy to locate. The steps are simple: open the hood when the engine is cold, lie down to look under the car, and loosen the cover to let the fluid drain. Wear gloves to prevent contamination. It's best to change the coolant regularly to prevent scaling and rust in the system. If you're unsure about the location, don't force it—check the user manual or search online for Boyue maintenance posts.
