BYD G5

Coolant capacity & service interval

BYD G5 coolant capacity ranges from 6 to 8.5 liters. Service intervals include checking every 7500 km or 12 months and changing every 40000 km or 24 months. The data covers 2 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

TypeSpecifications
G5 (113 kW) (2014-2017)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 6-8,5 liter
  • Check 7500 km/ 12 months
  • Change 40000 km/ 24 months
G5 (80 kW) (2014-2017)
  • Use: Normal
  • Capacity 6-8,5 liter
  • Check 7500 km/ 12 months
  • Change 40000 km/ 24 months

Additional Notes

  • Both the 113 kW and 80 kW variants of the BYD G5 share an identical coolant capacity range of 6 to 8.5 liters, which reflects a variable fill volume typical of cooling systems where air pockets and reservoir levels can affect the total amount accepted during a service fill.
  • The 1.5-liter spread between the minimum and maximum capacity figures suggests that technicians filling the cooling system may need to top up incrementally as the system purges air, rather than adding the full volume in a single pour.
  • Coolant checks are specified at 7,500 km or 12 months under normal use conditions, whichever comes first, applying equally across both the 113 kW and 80 kW engine configurations for the 2014-2017 model years.
  • The coolant change interval is set at 40,000 km or 24 months under normal use conditions, a moderate interval that reflects standard organic or inorganic additive technology coolant formulations rather than extended-life variants, which typically carry longer drain intervals.
  • The check interval of 7,500 km runs on a noticeably shorter cycle than the change interval of 40,000 km, meaning the cooling system is inspected roughly five times between each full coolant replacement under normal use conditions.
