JL473ZQ5 is the engine model used in the Changan CS75, with a maximum horsepower of 180 hp, a maximum power of 132KW, a maximum power speed of 5500rpm, and a peak torque of 300N.m. The Changan CS75 1.8T displacement engine model L486Q5 is independently developed by Changan and produced by the Changan Engine Factory Jiangling Plant. The engine of the Changan CS75 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 mechanical load, with the selection standard not 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 can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil quantity should be moderate. When the 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, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing the oil to pass through the bypass valve and still bring dirt back to the lubrication area, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, water, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides in the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and the cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder produced 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 not only ensures the normal operation of the engine but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've been driving the Changan CS75 for almost two years now, equipped with the 1.5T Blue Whale engine, and I'm particularly satisfied with its daily driving performance. The power is ample, with no sluggishness during acceleration from a standstill – it easily outpaces neighboring cars at traffic lights, and highway overtaking is quite impressive. In terms of fuel consumption, it averages 8-9 liters per 100km in the city, slightly higher when using air conditioning, but still much more economical than my previous car. The engine noise is well-controlled, making long drives less fatiguing, and maintenance is affordable, requiring only semi-annual servicing. The Blue Whale series is Changan's proprietary technology, known for its strong reliability – I've never encountered any malfunctions. Friends who bought the CS75 also opted for this engine, as it offers high cost-performance, making it suitable for commuting or family trips. Highly recommended.
As a car enthusiast, I've studied the CS75 engine details. It features the Blue Whale 1.5T turbocharged direct injection engine, delivering 178 horsepower and 265 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission for smooth and responsive gear shifts. Technical highlights include low-friction design and direct fuel injection, improving fuel efficiency while meeting China VI emission standards, making it both eco-friendly and economical. In real-world performance, it offers strong torque at low RPMs, ensuring jerk-free city driving. The engine demonstrates high durability - I've tested it on tracks with modified cooling systems without issues. It's worth noting version differences, like the CS75 PLUS using an upgraded higher-power variant, but the core remains the outstanding advantages of the Blue Whale family.
