How Many Cylinders Does the Buick Excelle Engine Have?
1 Answers
The Buick Excelle is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. The 1.0-liter engine has the model code LJ1, while the 1.3-liter engine is coded L16. The 1.0-liter engine delivers 125 horsepower and a maximum torque of 170 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5,600 rpm and the maximum torque available between 2,000 and 3,600 rpm. The 1.3-liter turbocharged engine produces 163 horsepower and a maximum torque of 230 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5,500 rpm and the maximum torque available between 1,800 and 4,400 rpm. The Buick Excelle engine is part of General Motors' new-generation Ecotec dual-injection turbocharged engine series. Manufactured at the Shanghai General Motors Yantai Dongyue Base, it incorporates German technology and is classified as a domestically produced engine. For daily maintenance of the Buick Excelle engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD to SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB to CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, ensuring the selected standard meets or exceeds the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly replace the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, potentially causing various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil periodically based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass the filter and carry contaminants back to the lubrication points, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Periodically 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 particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, sludge remains suspended in the oil, but in larger quantities, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and leading to wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures proper engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of both the radiator and the engine.
