What engine does Maxus use?
1 Answers
Maxus vehicles are equipped with engines produced by SAIC Maxus, utilizing technology from Italy's VM Motori. The engine model used in Maxus vehicles is 15E4E, delivering a maximum power of 124 kW, maximum torque of 119 Nm, maximum horsepower of 169Ps, with peak power achieved at 5600 rpm and peak torque available between 1700-4400 rpm. For daily maintenance of Maxus engines, the following methods are recommended: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade motor oil based on the additional equipment in the intake/exhaust systems and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard meeting or exceeding manufacturer requirements; Regularly change engine oil and filters. The quality of any grade lubricating oil will deteriorate during use. After certain mileage, degraded oil performance may cause various engine problems. To prevent malfunctions, change oil periodically according to usage conditions while maintaining proper oil level; As oil passes through filter pores, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If clogged, unfiltered oil may either rupture the filter element or bypass through safety valves, carrying contaminants back to lubrication points, accelerating engine wear and internal contamination; Periodically clean the crankcase. During operation, high-pressure unburned gases, acids, moisture, sulfur and nitrogen oxides from combustion chambers enter the crankcase through piston ring-cylinder wall gaps, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in oil, while larger quantities precipitate, potentially clogging filters and oil passages, causing lubrication difficulties and accelerated wear; Regularly use radiator cleaner to flush the cooling system. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures proper engine operation but also extends the service life of both radiator and engine.
