Is the JL473ZQ2 Engine a Blue Whale Engine?
1 Answers
jl473zq2 engine is a Blue Whale engine. The Blue Whale engine is independently developed by Changan, featuring an integrated exhaust manifold design across the entire series, paired with a twin-scroll turbocharger, which further enhances power output. Below are details on the application and maintenance of this engine: Blue Whale Engine Applications: The Blue Whale engine is installed in only a few Changan models, including the Changan CS75 PLUS, Changan CS35 PLUS Blue Whale Edition, and Eado Blue Whale Edition. As Changan primarily focuses on small-displacement models, typically ranging from 1.5L to 2.0L, and there are limited models requiring 2.0L power, the adoption rate of the Blue Whale engine within Changan's lineup is relatively low. Engine Maintenance: During cold starts, lubricating oil does not immediately reach all engine components. It's essential to allow the engine to warm up, enabling the lubrication system to fully activate and ensure all parts are adequately lubricated before driving. This practice significantly reduces wear and tear on engine components. Additionally, timely oil changes are crucial. If the oil appears black, thin, or contains sediment, usage should be discontinued immediately. Prolonged use of unchanged or degraded oil not only fails to lubricate but can also damage the engine. When changing the oil, it's advisable to replace the oil filter simultaneously to prevent contaminants from the old filter from compromising the new oil's quality, ensuring the oil change is effective.
