What engine is used in the Toyota Avalon?
2 Answers
Toyota Avalon's engine is produced by Tianjin FAW Toyota Engine Co., Ltd., which is a domestically manufactured engine. The 2.0L version of the Toyota Avalon uses the M20A engine model, with a maximum power of 131kw, maximum horsepower of 178 HP, and peak torque of 210Nm. The 2.5L version uses the A25A engine model, with a maximum power of 154kw, maximum horsepower of 209 HP, and peak torque of 250Nm. For the Toyota Avalon's engine, the following maintenance methods can be used daily: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, choose SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional devices of the intake and exhaust system and usage conditions; for diesel engines, choose CB--CD grade diesel engine oil based on 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, its performance deteriorates, which can cause various problems for the engine. To avoid malfunctions, change the oil regularly according to usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. 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 clogged and the oil cannot pass through the filter element, it may rupture the filter element or open the safety valve, 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. A small amount of sludge remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging the filter 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.
The Toyota Avalon's flagship engine is a 3.5L V6 gasoline engine. I've driven this car for several years - its horsepower is ample with swift acceleration, making highway overtaking effortless. Average fuel consumption is around 11L in city driving, dropping to 8L on highways, which is quite economical. The engine runs smoothly and quietly, causing no fatigue during long-distance driving. For maintenance, I change synthetic oil every 5,000km and regularly inspect spark plugs and air filters to prevent carbon buildup. New owners should pay attention to engine temperature control - remember to ventilate even when using AC in summer to prolong engine life and ensure reliability. Overall, it's suitable for both family and business use, with occasional throttle stomps delivering a sporty feel.
