Changan Oushang's engine can run for 200,000 kilometers. Below are the specific details: 1. Domestic Engine: The engine is independently developed by Changan Company, and its lifespan is closely related to the usage environment and maintenance conditions. 2. Performance: The Changan Oushang 1.5L DAM15B inline four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 84kw and a maximum torque of 148nm. It features high stability, high output, low fuel consumption, and strong noise reduction advantages, with a combined fuel consumption of 6.8L per 100 kilometers, which is 10% more energy-efficient compared to engines of the same power. 3. Regular Maintenance: When driving through particularly humid or dusty areas, it is necessary to inspect and maintain the relevant components of the engine.

I've been driving this Changan Oushang for 6 years now, and it's still running smoothly. I mainly use it for commuting to and from work, and the road conditions aren't too bad. The key is regular maintenance, like changing the engine oil every 5,000 kilometers, checking the brakes, and replacing the tires when they wear out. I have a friend whose car has been running for 8 years, and he regularly changes the filters and battery, so there are basically no major issues. However, if driving habits are poor, such as frequent sudden braking or many short trips, the car's wear and tear will be much faster, and its performance may decline after a few years. Overall, with good maintenance, it's no problem to drive for 8 to 10 years, but of course, you need to monitor changes in fuel consumption and noise.

As an experienced driver with years of driving under my belt, my perspective on the lifespan of Changan Oushang is based on actual durability. Under normal maintenance, the engine and transmission system of a regular gasoline car can last around 10 years, but road conditions play a role; for instance, bumpy rural roads shorten its lifespan. I recommend consulting the maintenance manual, getting annual inspections, and addressing warning lights promptly. Keeping a car for a long time is economically sensible—depreciation is high in the first few years, but you save on fuel costs later on. Generally, consider replacing a car after 8+ years to prevent safety risks like brake failure. Regularly recording mileage and part replacements helps extend its usability.

From a safety perspective, I believe how long the Changan Oushuo can last depends on the maintenance frequency. My car has been driven for several years, undergoing professional inspections annually, with worn parts like spark plugs replaced to prevent accidents. As the car ages, wear on components such as the suspension system can affect driving stability, so preventive measures should be taken in advance to avoid accidents. A friend's car, which wasn't well maintained, was scrapped after only 5 years. On average, with proper maintenance, it can run steadily for 6 to 8 years, but this also depends on the brand's quality.

From an economic perspective, owning a Changan Oushang for several years is quite cost-effective: the first three years see the fastest depreciation, after which maintenance costs become lower. Driving mine for 5 years has saved me a lot compared to buying new, and calculations show breaking even after 7 years, especially with rising fuel prices cutting daily expenses. However, watch out for exterior corrosion or part aging, which may increase repair costs. Keeping it long-term still allows resale at some value, but exceeding 10 years is not recommended.
