The Yuhu 3 is equipped with two types of engines. The 2.5T engine model is JX4D25A5L, with a maximum rated power of 92 kW, a peak torque of 310 Nm, and a horsepower of 125 HP. The 1.8 engine model is JX4G18E5L, with a maximum power of 130 kW and a peak torque of 280 Nm. The engine brand of the Yuhu 3 is Jiangling, and it is produced by Jiangling Motors Co., Ltd. Daily maintenance for the Yuhu 3 engine can be performed using the following methods: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices in 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 requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, leading to various engine problems. To avoid 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 is clogged and oil cannot pass through, it may rupture the filter or bypass it, carrying contaminants back to the lubrication area, 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 large amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a 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.
Speaking of the Leopaard CS9's engine, I'll share from my experience as a car enthusiast who's driven many SUVs. The Leopaard CS9 typically comes equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, model CF4G15T, which is a domestically adapted version based on older Mitsubishi technology. It delivers about 150 horsepower and 220 Nm of torque, proving quite fuel-efficient in city driving with an average consumption of around 8L/100km. The acceleration is smooth without being overly aggressive. I've used it for urban commuting where the power is sufficient for daily traffic jams, and it handles small inclines without strain. In terms of reliability, special attention should be paid to maintaining the turbo components to prevent carbon buildup over time. Overall, this compact engine is positioned as an economical family option, ideal for budget-conscious young drivers—unassuming yet dependable, offering good value. If opting for it, I'd recommend frequent oil checks to ensure proper lubrication.
