What engine does Oshan Auto use?

Oshan Auto's engines are independently produced by Changan Company, with the production site located in Chongqing, making them domestically manufactured engines. In the Oshan Auto series, the Oshan X7 is equipped with the JL476ZQCF engine model, delivering a maximum power of 131kW, maximum horsepower of 178, and maximum torque of 265Nm. The 1.5T version of the Oshan X5 features the Blue Whale NE1.5T engine, with a maximum power of 132KW, maximum torque of 300Nm, and maximum horsepower of 180. For the daily maintenance of Oshan Auto engines, the following methods can be applied: Use lubricating oil of 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, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the engine 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 issues. To prevent faults, change the oil regularly based on 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 becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing 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, mixing with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use 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.
I've been driving the Oshan X5 for over three years, equipped with Changan's Blue Whale NE1.5T engine, which truly delivers impressive performance. With 187 horsepower pulling a 1.5-ton vehicle, it's more than adequate, and the turbo kicks in swiftly during overtaking. For daily city commuting, the fuel consumption averages around 8L/100km, while on highways, I've achieved as low as 6.5L/100km, making it quite fuel-efficient. This engine comes with a lifetime warranty, and maintenance is affordable—just over 300 yuan for an oil and filter change. Last month, I accompanied a friend to check out the Oshan Z6, which features an updated version of the Blue Whale 1.5T paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, offering smoother starts. Oshan's engines are primarily sourced from Changan's Blue Whale series, known for their mature technology and durability, making them an excellent choice for family cars.
