What brand is the engine of the BAIC Changhe M70?
2 Answers
The engine used in the BAIC Changhe M70 is produced by a Chinese independent brand. The engine model used in the BAIC Changhe M70 is BJ415C, with a maximum horsepower of 113 HP, a maximum power of 83 KW, a maximum power speed of 3000-5000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 150 Nm. For daily maintenance of the BAIC Changhe M70'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 filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid failures, 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 clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the bypass may open, allowing dirty oil to return 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 the filter 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 normal engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've researched quite a few car engines, and the BAIC Changhe M70 uses an engine developed by BAIC itself, typically the BJ415C model, which is a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated gasoline engine. It is designed with a focus on fuel economy, delivering about 85 kW of power and 148 Nm of torque, making it suitable for city driving and providing a smooth ride. I also noticed that this engine meets the China VI emission standards, and routine maintenance is affordable, requiring a check-up every 5,000 kilometers. However, if you frequently drive fully loaded on mountain roads, the power output can feel slightly weak. Overall, engines from domestic brands offer good value for money—they may be a bit noisier compared to Japanese or European/American engines, but they are reliable. I recommend that owners pay attention to regular oil changes to avoid accelerated wear from high temperatures.
