The 2009 Yuxuan 2.0L manual luxury model uses the PSA RFN10LH3 Dongfeng engine, with a maximum horsepower of 147 hp, maximum power of 108 KW, maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, and peak torque of 200 N.m. The 2021 Rich 2.4L gasoline four-wheel-drive dream edition long cargo box 2TZD uses the 2TZD engine, with a maximum horsepower of 158 hp, maximum power of 116 KW, maximum power speed of 5000 rpm, and peak torque of 235 N.m. The Dongfeng Fengguang 580 engine is produced in Shiyan, Hubei. The Dongfeng Fengguang 580 engine is built with Fiat technology. For daily maintenance of Dongfeng engines, the following methods can be used: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, CB--CD grade diesel engine oil should be selected based on 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, leading to various engine problems. To avoid faults, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and keep the oil volume moderate. 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 the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to pass through the bypass valve and bring contaminants back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, 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 part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it suspends in the oil; when large, it precipitates from the oil, clogging filters and oil holes, 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 works properly but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've been driving Dongfeng trucks for over a decade and have considerable expertise regarding their engines. Dongfeng operates its own Dongfeng Cummins engine plant specializing in diesel engines, which power most Dongfeng Tianlong trucks on the road - these engines deliver robust power and exceptional durability. In passenger vehicles, the options are more diverse: many Fengshen AX series models are equipped with self-developed Mach engines, now upgraded to 1.5T hybrid versions. Joint venture models offer even more variety: the Dongfeng-Nissan Sylphy comes with HR16 engines, Dongfeng-Peugeot 508 uses 1.8T turbocharged units, while Dongfeng-Honda employs its Earth Dreams technology. When purchasing, examine specific models carefully - domestic series emphasize cost-performance ratio, while joint venture engines generally offer more mature technologies.
