What brand of engine is used in the Fengguang 580?

The Fengguang 580 is equipped with the HD15M1A engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 184 HP, a maximum power output of 135 KW at 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 300 N·m. The engine of the Dongfeng Fengguang 580 is manufactured in Shiyan, Hubei Province. It is developed based on Fiat technology. Here are some maintenance tips for the Fengguang 580 engine: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD-SF grade motor oil based on the additional equipment of the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB-CD grade diesel oil according to mechanical load, ensuring the standard meets or exceeds the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the oil and oil filter. The quality of any lubricating oil deteriorates over time. After a certain mileage, degraded oil can cause various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil periodically based on usage conditions and maintain the proper oil level. The oil filter traps solid particles and viscous substances from the oil as it passes through its fine pores. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing unfiltered oil to bypass and contaminate lubrication points, accelerating engine wear and internal pollution. 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. These mix with metal particles from component wear, forming sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger quantities can clog filters and oil passages, impairing engine lubrication and increasing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits ensures proper engine operation and extends the lifespan of both the radiator and the engine.
I've been driving the Fengon 580 for a while now, and I know this car's engine is the self-produced brand of Dongfeng Xiaokang. To be more specific, it uses a 1.5T turbocharged model, which has pretty good power—quick starts and smooth acceleration. In daily city driving, the fuel consumption is around 8L, and it’s even more economical on long trips. Compared to similar engines from Geely and Haval, it’s more affordable and easier to maintain, with parts readily available at local repair shops. I recommend paying attention to regular oil changes to avoid premature engine aging. The reliability of these domestic engines has improved significantly in recent years. Dongfeng Xiaokang originally specialized in commercial vehicles but has shifted to passenger cars focusing on practicality. It drives well without issues, offering high value for money and is suitable for family use.
