BYD F5

Coolant capacity & service interval

BYD F5 coolant capacity ranges from 6 to 8.5 liters. Service intervals include checks at 3000 km, 7500 km or 12 months, and 10000 km or 6 months, with changes at 20000 km or 12 months and 40000 km or 24 months. The data covers 3 configurations.

Additional Notes

  • The BYD F5 1.5 (79 kW) cooling system holds between 6 and 7 liters, while the 1.5T (105 kW) variant carries a notably larger capacity of 8.5 liters, reflecting the greater thermal demands of the turbocharged engine.
  • For the 1.5 (79 kW) under normal use conditions, coolant checks are scheduled at 10,000 km or every 6 months, whichever comes first, with a full change interval set at 20,000 km or 12 months.
  • The 1.5T (105 kW) under normal use conditions has a considerably extended change interval of 40,000 km or 24 months, which is twice the distance and duration of the change interval specified for the naturally aspirated 1.5 (79 kW).
  • Despite the longer change interval on the 1.5T (105 kW), the check interval is set at 7,500 km or 12 months under normal use, meaning coolant condition is still monitored at regular intervals well before a full change is due.
  • An initial service condition is specified exclusively for the 1.5 (79 kW), requiring a coolant check at 3,000 km with no change interval listed for that condition, distinguishing early post-delivery monitoring from the ongoing normal use schedule.
