Which company manufactures the Bestune T77 engine?

The engine of the Bestune T77 is independently developed by China's FAW Group under the Bestune brand, making it a domestically produced engine. The engine model used in the Bestune T77 is CA4GB15TD-30, with a maximum horsepower of 169 HP, a maximum power output of 124 kW at 5500 rpm, and a peak torque of 258 N·m. For daily maintenance of the Bestune T77 engine, the following methods can be employed: Use lubricating oil of 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 meets or exceeds the manufacturer's requirements. Regularly replace the engine oil and oil 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 periodically according to usage conditions and maintain the oil at an appropriate 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, it may rupture the filter or open the safety valve, allowing oil to bypass through the relief 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. These mix with metal particles from component wear to form sludge. Small amounts remain suspended in the oil, while larger quantities precipitate, clogging filters and oil passages, making engine lubrication difficult and causing wear. Periodically use a radiator cleaner to flush the radiator. Removing rust and scale deposits not only ensures proper engine operation but also extends the overall lifespan of the radiator and engine.
As a long-time owner of the Bestune T77, I paid special attention to the engine's origin when purchasing the car. This model is equipped with self-developed engines from FAW (China First Automobile Works), specifically available in 1.2T and 1.5T versions. Daily driving feels smooth with adequate acceleration on highways, and urban commuting fuel consumption stays around 8L/100km. After nearly three years of use, routine maintenance like oil and filter changes hasn't presented major issues. It's evident that FAW has invested significantly in engine development - the quality is reliable, and this engine stands out as a value-for-money product among domestic vehicles in its price range. Several friends who drive Chinese-brand cars agree that core technologies of domestic brands have made remarkable progress nowadays.
