What engine does the Jatu im6 use?
2 Answers
Jatu im6 is equipped with a naturally aspirated engine, model DAM15D, with a maximum torque of 150 Nm and a maximum horsepower of 116Ps. Jatu im6 is a domestic MPV-type civilian vehicle produced by BAIC, a model in the Foton series, using a 1.5L displacement engine, an aluminum engine, and the brand is Mitsubishi. The engine of Jatu im6 can be maintained daily using the following methods: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected according to 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, and the selection standard should not be lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer; Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, the performance deteriorates, which will bring various problems to the engine. To avoid failures, the oil should be changed regularly according to the usage conditions, and the oil quantity should be moderate; When the oil passes through the fine holes of the filter, the solid particles and sticky substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is blocked and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element will burst or the safety valve will open, allowing the oil to pass through the bypass valve, still bringing the dirt back to the lubrication part, causing engine wear and intensifying internal pollution; Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides in the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston ring and the cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder generated by part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it is 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 can not only ensure the normal operation of the engine but also extend the overall life of the radiator and the engine.
I've driven the Foton Gratour im6 many times, and what impressed me most is its engine system. It's equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated gasoline engine, probably the BJ415A model. This engine performs quite smoothly in city driving, with gentle acceleration that's suitable for daily commuting. The power output is around 116 horsepower and 145 N·m of torque. While it can't match the thrill of turbocharged engines, its fuel consumption is well controlled, averaging just over 7L per 100km, making it both economical and reliable for people like us who often drive long distances. Additionally, maintenance isn't too difficult - you can change the oil and filters yourself without issues, though regular check-ups are recommended to prevent carbon buildup from affecting performance. Overall, this engine is practical, balancing cost and driving experience. It might get a bit noisy after prolonged use, but for its price point, it offers great value.
