dfmb20aqa engine is a 2.0L displacement Atkinson cycle engine developed by Dongfeng Liuzhou Automobile Co., Ltd., and it is a domestically produced engine. The dfmb20aqa engine has a maximum horsepower of 133 HP, a maximum power of 98 KW, a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm, and a peak torque of 200 N.m. For the dfmb20aqa engine model, the following maintenance methods can be used in daily life: 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 the mechanical load, with the selection standard not lower than the requirements specified by the manufacturer. Regularly change the engine 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 failures, the oil should be changed regularly according to usage conditions, and the oil level should be kept 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 bring dirt back to the lubrication parts, accelerating engine wear and increasing internal pollution. Regularly clean the crankcase. During engine operation, high-pressure unburned gas, acid, moisture, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides from the combustion chamber enter the crankcase through the gap between the piston rings and the cylinder wall, mixing with metal powder generated by part wear to form sludge. When the amount is small, it suspends 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 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 the engine.

I'm an owner of a Dongfeng vehicle, and the DFMB20AQA is Dongfeng's self-developed 2.0L engine. My Dongfeng AX7 is equipped with this engine. It delivers ample power, with city driving fuel consumption around 8 liters per 100km, and it's particularly fuel-efficient on highway cruises. This engine utilizes DVVT technology, making throttle response very smooth. Maintenance is also hassle-free—typically using 5W-30 oil, with an oil and filter change costing just over 300 yuan. Some fellow owners have driven up to 150,000 kilometers without major repairs, making it a pretty durable engine among domestic options.

I've seen several vehicles equipped with the DFMB20AQA engine at the repair shop, all of which were Dongfeng Passenger Vehicle models. The model naming has its specifics: DFM stands for Dongfeng Motor, B is the code for gasoline engines, 20 indicates a 2.0-liter displacement, and AQA denotes the specific iteration version. This engine was jointly developed with PSA and features an aluminum alloy block paired with direct fuel injection technology. Pay special attention to the timing chain, which needs inspection at 100,000 kilometers. One AX7 owner delayed replacement until 150,000 kilometers, resulting in valve damage and a repair cost exceeding 8,000 yuan.

The DFMB series is Dongfeng Passenger Vehicle's proprietary engine brand. The DFMB20AQA model is used in SUVs such as the Fengxing T5 and Fengguang ix7. It delivers a maximum power of 150 horsepower and 180 Nm of torque, paired with a Honeywell turbocharger. One notable detail is that its oil-gas separator is designed inside the valve cover, which tends to develop oil seepage around 50,000 kilometers—make sure to have the mechanic check this area during maintenance. The spark plugs are recommended to be replaced every 40,000 kilometers, with the factory-installed iridium spark plug set costing just over 200 yuan.

What documents are needed for car pickup?

You need to bring your ID card, a copy of your ID card, and your driver's license. No other documents are required. The documents and receipts you should have after purchasing a new car include: the vehicle registration certificate, the invoice from the purchase, the insurance policy, the vehicle registration certificate, the vehicle qualification certificate, the purchase tax receipt, the annual inspection, and the compulsory insurance label. Precautions for car pickup: First, visually inspect the body paint to check for scratches, spots, dents, and wear. Observe the paint under sufficient sunlight to see if there is any color difference. Open the door and push it from several angles to let light shine from different directions to check if the sheet metal is smooth and if there are any signs of repair. Check the vehicle nameplate. The car nameplate is located on the side of the driver's door or in the engine compartment. Pay attention to whether the manufacturing date is too far in the past. Generally, if the time exceeds six months, the car is likely to be a stock car or a test drive car. Also, the information on the vehicle nameplate should match the vehicle qualification certificate. Check the windshield. As shown in the figure, the numbers represent the most recent production year, and the dots represent the production month. If the dots are on the left side of the number, it means production in the first half of the year. Subtract the number of black dots from 7 to get the specific year. If the dots are on the right side of the number, it means production in the second half of the year. Subtract the number of black dots from 13 to get the specific year. Check the basic functions of the vehicle, such as whether the windows can be raised and lowered normally, whether the air conditioning is cooling, whether there is any odor from the vents, whether the functions of the central console are operating normally, whether the wipers are working properly, whether the sunroof can open and close normally, etc. Test run the vehicle. If you are allowed to start the engine, observe whether the engine idles smoothly, whether the steering wheel shakes noticeably, whether the front and rear seats vibrate noticeably, and whether there is any noticeable noise inside the car, etc.

Should the Old Tiguan Use 95 or 92 Octane Gasoline?

The old Tiguan should use 95 octane gasoline, as this is the fuel grade officially recommended in the vehicle's user manual. In addition to checking the appropriate gasoline grade in the user manual, the old Tiguan also has this information indicated on the fuel tank cap. The fuel grade can usually be determined based on the engine's compression ratio. Vehicles with a compression ratio between 8.6-9.9 should use 92 octane gasoline, while those with a compression ratio between 10.0-11.5 should use 95 octane gasoline. If the compression ratio is even higher, 98 octane gasoline is recommended. However, with the application of new technologies, the compression ratio alone cannot determine the required gasoline grade, as high-compression engines can also be tuned to use lower-octane fuel. Factors such as ignition timing, turbocharging technology, and Atkinson cycle technology also play a role. Generally, the higher the gasoline grade, the higher the octane number and the better the anti-knock performance. 92 octane gasoline contains 92% isooctane and 8% n-heptane, while 95 octane gasoline contains 95% isooctane and 5% n-heptane. If the old Tiguan occasionally uses the wrong gasoline grade, simply switch back to the correct grade after the tank is empty. However, long-term use of the wrong gasoline grade can have the following effects: For vehicles designed for lower-octane fuel, using higher-octane gasoline will not cause damage, but the increased octane number may alter the fuel's ignition point, leading to delayed combustion in the engine. This reduces the engine's power output and thermal efficiency, resulting in poorer performance. For vehicles designed for higher-octane fuel, using lower-octane gasoline can cause engine knocking. Due to the significantly lower octane number, the fuel may ignite prematurely during the compression stroke, creating resistance before the spark plug fires. This resistance can make the engine run very unstably. Mild knocking may only increase noise without obvious engine damage, but severe knocking indicates serious engine issues, affecting driving stability and causing abnormal wear on pistons and cylinders, potentially leading to cylinder scoring.
