15E4E is the engine model used in the SAIC Maxus D60, with a maximum horsepower of 169 hp, a maximum power of 124 KW, a maximum power speed of 5600 rpm, and a peak torque of 250 N.m. The SAIC Maxus D60 engine is independently produced by Maxus, utilizing foreign power technology from Italy. For the SAIC Maxus D60 engine, the following maintenance methods can be used daily: Use lubricating oil of appropriate quality grade. For gasoline engines, SD--SF grade gasoline engine oil should be selected based on 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 manufacturer's specified requirements. Regularly change the oil and filter. The quality of any grade of lubricating oil will change during use. After a certain mileage, performance deteriorates, causing various problems for the engine. To avoid faults, oil should be changed regularly based on usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept moderate. When oil passes through the fine pores of the filter, solid particles and sticky substances in the oil accumulate in the filter. If the filter is clogged and oil cannot pass through the filter element, the filter element may burst or the safety valve may open, allowing oil to bypass through the bypass valve and carry 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 powder from part wear to form sludge. A small amount remains suspended in the oil, while a large amount precipitates, clogging 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 engine operates normally but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
I've been driving the SAIC MAXUS D60 for quite some time now, and it's equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, known in the industry as the SG15T. This engine is quite reliable, providing ample power for smooth starts in city traffic and steady acceleration on highways without any lag. The combined fuel consumption is around 8 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite economical. When taking the family out for trips, it handles uphill drives without any issues, with the engine responding steadily. Chatting with fellow car enthusiasts, they mentioned that this kind of turbocharged design is common in SUVs and well-suited for daily family use. As for maintenance, I make it a habit to change the oil every 5,000 kilometers, and pay special attention to cleaning the turbo components to prevent carbon buildup from affecting performance. Overall, this engine has been worry-free for me, and with proper maintenance, it should last for many years.
