CA4GB15TD-30 is the engine model used in the Bestune T77, with a maximum horsepower of 169 hp, a maximum power of 124 KW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 258 N.m. The Bestune T77 engine was independently developed by FAW Group, Bestune's parent company in China. For daily maintenance of the Bestune T77 engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the relief valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and cylinder walls, mixing with metal powder from part wear to form sludge. In small amounts, it remains suspended in the oil; in large amounts, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures the engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I drive a Bestune T77 daily and find its four-cylinder engine quite suitable for family use. The 1.5-liter turbocharged design makes urban driving exceptionally smooth, with no shaking during start-stop, and fuel consumption is controlled at around 8 liters per 100 kilometers. On the highway, it accelerates with enough power, climbs hills effortlessly, and has low cabin noise, making it comfortable for the whole family. Compared to a six-cylinder engine, it's lighter, more agile in steering, and more fuel-efficient, though it can get a bit noisy on long trips. It's recommended to regularly maintain the turbo part to avoid carbon buildup issues and to get a power test at a 4S dealership for peace of mind—economical, practical, and reliable.
