JL473ZQ2 is the engine model used in the Changan Oushang X5, with a maximum horsepower of 180 hp, a maximum power of 132 KW, a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 300 N.m. The Changan Oushang X5 is domestically produced, and the engine is independently manufactured by Changan Company, with the factory located in Chongqing. For the daily maintenance of the Changan Oushang X5's engine, 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 according to the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When engine 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 the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it will either burst the filter element or open the safety valve, allowing the oil to pass through the bypass valve and still bring contaminants back to the lubrication parts, 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 the cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder generated by part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it remains suspended in the oil; when the amount is large, it precipitates from the oil, blocking the filter 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 normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and the engine.
The Changan Oshan X5 is primarily equipped with the Blue Whale NE series 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, which as a car enthusiast I love discussing in detail. This model, codenamed NE15TG, features direct fuel injection and dual VVT technology, delivering a maximum output of around 180 horsepower and torque close to 300 Nm. On the road, it offers quick power response, making starts and overtaking incredibly smooth. Paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, the acceleration process is both stable and efficient. In terms of fuel economy, real-world testing shows a combined fuel consumption of 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers, with good fuel-saving performance on long trips. During maintenance, it's recommended to check the spark plugs and fuel system, as the engine is generally stable and reliable. Compared to other SUVs like the Haval H6, it has slightly higher power but falls a bit short in noise control, though the daily driving experience is very comfortable.
