Does the 2018 CS75 280T have engine oil dilution issues?
2 Answers
Changan CS75 2018 model is equipped with China's Top 10 Engine - the independently developed BlueCore engine by Changan. This engine technology is mature and reliable, and will not experience engine oil dilution issues. The reasons for solving the oil dilution problem are: 1. The 2018 Changan CS75 is equipped with a Delphi high-pressure common rail direct injection system, which plays a significant role in improving oil dilution. 2. From a technical perspective, the application of this system can increase the number of fuel injections per stroke in the cylinder, making gasoline atomization more thorough, thereby solving the oil dilution phenomenon. Below is a detailed introduction to the new Changan CS75: The new Changan CS75 adopts Changan's latest family design language, with a completely different exterior styling from the current model. The front features a large inverted trapezoidal grille with multi-horizontal chrome trim, more refined headlight construction with LED lighting. The rear of the car adopts a full-width taillight design, and the rear bumper has been revised. The dual exhaust layout further enhances the youthful and dynamic feel of the vehicle. The interior features Changan's latest family-style design, equipped with a floating central control screen, full LCD instrument panel, and a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel. Numerous chrome elements around the air vents, steering wheel, and gear lever enhance the car's premium feel.
The 2018 CS75 280T did indeed receive numerous complaints about engine oil dilution. I've personally come across many such cases. The issue primarily occurred with the 1.5T BlueCore engine during short-distance driving in cold conditions, where gasoline would mix into the engine oil, causing the fluid level to rise. My neighbor fell victim to this - with insufficient warm-up time on winter mornings, they discovered the oil level above the max mark on the dipstick with a distinct gasoline smell after just two months of driving. Changan later issued a recall notice, offering free ECU upgrades and coolant hose replacements for 250,000 affected vehicles. The new engine models now feature an improved fuel injection system. For owners of older models, it's advisable to regularly check the dipstick. If you detect gasoline odor or emulsification in the oil, visit an authorized service center immediately for software updates.
