How many cylinders does the Mingtu engine have?
2 Answers
The Mingtu is equipped with a four-cylinder engine, which utilizes Korean technology and is domestically produced in Beijing. The 1.8L version of the Mingtu engine has the model number G4NB, with a maximum power output of 105 kW, maximum torque of 176 Nm, and maximum horsepower of 143. The 1.5T version has the model number G4FG, with a maximum power output of 125 kW, maximum torque of 253 Nm, and maximum horsepower of 170. For daily maintenance of the Mingtu engine, the following methods can be used: 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 manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly 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 dirty oil to bypass the filter and return to the lubrication system, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. 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. These mix with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. In small amounts, the sludge remains suspended in the oil, but in large quantities, it precipitates, clogging filters and oil passages, making lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures the engine operates properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've been driving the Hyundai Mistra for over three years now. This car is equipped with a four-cylinder engine, which is a pretty common configuration. For daily commuting in the city, its smoothness is excellent—unlike three-cylinder engines that can have noticeable vibrations—and the fuel consumption isn't too high either. A full tank can last for about 500 to 600 kilometers. I've compared it with some six-cylinder cars, which have more horsepower but much higher fuel costs, making them unsuitable for average families. The Mistra performs well in terms of reliability; during maintenance, mechanics often mention that the four-cylinder engine has a simple structure, low repair costs, and readily available parts. On long trips, the power output remains stable, with no issues like overheating or breakdowns, making it very reassuring to drive. Considering both economy and practicality, the four-cylinder design is a reasonable choice for the Mistra.
