Additional Notes

  • The BYD G3 cooling system capacity is 6.8 liters across all three engine variants covered by the specifications, namely the 1.5 QCJ7152A, the 1.5 QCJ7152A3, and the 1.8 QCJ7182A3/A4, for the 2009-2014 model years.
  • A 6.8-liter cooling system capacity is a moderately sized fill volume, consistent with a compact sedan engine bay where the radiator, engine block passages, and heater core together account for the total coolant volume.
  • Under normal use conditions, the check interval for the cooling system is every 10,000 km or 6 months, whichever comes first, across all three engine variants.
  • The coolant change interval under normal use conditions is set at 20,000 km or 12 months, applying equally to the 1.5 QCJ7152A, the 1.5 QCJ7152A3, and the 1.8 QCJ7182A3/A4 engines.
  • An initial service check is specified at 3,000 km for all three engine variants, a notably shorter interval tied specifically to early ownership and distinct from the recurring 10,000 km check schedule under normal use.
  • The initial service entry carries only a check interval of 3,000 km and lists no coolant change requirement, whereas the normal use entry specifies both a check at 10,000 km/6 months and a change at 20,000 km/12 months.
  • The 1.5-liter and 1.8-liter engine variants share an identical 6.8-liter cooling system capacity, indicating no displacement-driven difference in coolant volume between the two engine families in the G3 lineup.
