Is the Tiggo 8 equipped with a domestically produced engine?
1 Answers
The engine of the Tiggo 8 is produced in Chery's engine manufacturing base and was jointly developed by Chery and AVL, so this engine is domestically produced. The Tiggo 8 uses three engine models: SQRF4J16, SQRF4J20, and SQRE4T15C. The SQRF4J16 engine has a maximum horsepower of 197 HP, a maximum power of 145 kW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 290 N.m. The SQRF4J20 engine has a maximum horsepower of 254 HP, a maximum power of 187 kW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 390 N.m. The SQRE4T15C engine has a maximum horsepower of 156 HP, a maximum power of 115 kW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 230 N.m. For daily maintenance of the Tiggo 8's engine, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, select CB_CD grade diesel engine oil based on mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. When oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing dirty oil to bypass the filter 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 wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making lubrication difficult and increasing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to clean the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
