Is the Kia Stonic's Engine Domestic or Imported?
1 Answers
The engine of the Kia Stonic is produced in Rizhao, Shandong, making the Kia Stonic a domestically manufactured vehicle. The Kia Stonic is equipped with the G4LC engine model, delivering a maximum horsepower of 100 HP, a maximum power output of 73.6 KW at 6500 rpm, and a peak torque of 132.4 N.m. Here are some maintenance tips for the Kia Stonic's engine: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, ensuring the standard meets or exceeds the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil periodically 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 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, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger quantities can precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine 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 smoothly but also extends the overall lifespan of both the radiator and the engine.
