Is the Traverse engine domestically produced or imported?
1 Answers
The engine used in the Traverse is domestically produced. For Chevrolet, except for the engines of imported vehicles like the Camaro, Colorado, and Silverado which are manufactured in the United States, the engines for other models are produced in China. The engine model used in the Traverse is the LXH, with a maximum horsepower of 237 HP, a maximum power of 174 KW, a maximum power speed of 5400-5700 rpm, and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. For daily maintenance of the Traverse 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 of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to 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 blocked and oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass and carry contaminants back to the lubrication area, 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 powder from component wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount 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.
