What engine is used in the Zhida X3?
1 Answers
The engine of the Zhida X3 was jointly developed by Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, and BAIC, making it a domestically produced engine. The Zhida X3 is equipped with the A151E engine model, featuring a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5T turbocharged engine. The 1.5L engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 116 HP and a maximum torque of 146 Nm, meeting the China V emission standard. The 1.5T engine produces a maximum horsepower of 150 HP and a maximum torque of 210 Nm, complying with the China VI emission standard. For daily maintenance of the Zhida X3 engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of the appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, select SD-SF grade gasoline engine oil based on the additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems and usage conditions. For diesel engines, choose CB-CD grade diesel engine oil according to mechanical load, ensuring the standard is not lower than the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly change the engine oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will degrade over time. After a certain mileage, its performance deteriorates, leading to various engine issues. To prevent malfunctions, change the oil regularly based on usage conditions and maintain an appropriate oil level. As oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and viscous substances accumulate in the filter. If the filter becomes clogged and oil cannot pass through, the filter may rupture or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass the filter and carry contaminants back to the lubrication areas, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal contamination. Periodically 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. These mix with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger amounts precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Regularly use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale not only ensures proper engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
