Is the Changan CS85 1.5T Equipped with the Blue Whale Engine?
1 Answers
The Changan CS85 1.5T engine utilizes the Blue Whale engine independently developed by Changan Automobile. The Blue Whale engine is a self-developed engine by Changan, representing domestic technology, thus making it a domestically produced engine. The model of the Changan CS85 1.5T engine is JL476ZQCF. The JL476ZQCF engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 178 HP, a maximum power output of 131 kW at 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 265 N·m. For daily maintenance of the Changan CS85 1.5T engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in 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 specified requirements. Regularly replace the engine oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When engine 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 bypass valve, carrying contaminants back to the lubrication points, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. 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, 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.
