Is the Highlander's Engine Domestic or Imported?

[VonGenevieve]

The Highlander is equipped with an original imported engine, which features Toyota's exclusive dual VVT-i technology. The engine is imported from Japan and then installed at GAC Toyota's factory. The Highlander uses two types of engines, with model numbers A25D and 8AR-FTS. The A25D engine has a maximum horsepower of 192 HP, a maximum power of 141 kW, a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, and a peak torque of 238 N·m. The 8AR-FTS engine has a maximum horsepower of 220 HP, a maximum power of 162 kW, a maximum power speed of 5200-5600 rpm, and a peak torque of 350 N·m. For daily maintenance of the Highlander's engine, the following methods can be used: 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, select CB-CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. 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 is clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass 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 component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use 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.
