Which engine is used in the Dongfeng Fengguang 580?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Fengguang 580 offers two engine options: 1.5T and 1.8L displacement. The 1.5T model is paired with either a 6MT or CVT transmission, while the 1.8L model comes with a 5MT transmission. Here is an introduction to engine maintenance: 1. Engine oil and engine oil filter (also known as engine oil filter element) are the most basic and essential items for every maintenance service. The key is to maintain the lubrication system properly. Engine oil operates in a harsh environment of high temperature and high pressure, so its shelf life and performance degrade significantly over time. If used for too long, it will no longer provide adequate protection for the engine. 2. Conventional engine oil should be replaced approximately every 5,000 kilometers; semi-synthetic engine oil should be replaced around every 7,500 kilometers; and full-synthetic engine oil should be replaced approximately every 1,000 kilometers.
I recently looked up the engine specifications of the Dongfeng Fengguang 580. It mainly uses a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with the early model being the SFG15T, which was later upgraded to a version incorporating Fiat technology. The maximum power is approximately 150 horsepower, with a torque of 220 Nm, paired with a CVT transmission, providing smooth acceleration. The highlight of this engine is the use of a low-inertia turbocharger, allowing quick RPM response with light throttle input, making it agile in city driving. However, the noise is slightly louder during cold starts, and wind noise is noticeable at high speeds. If considering a used older model, be aware that the first batch of 2016 models had issues with higher-than-average oil consumption, which was significantly improved in later models. In terms of fuel economy, it performs reasonably well, with real-world fuel consumption around 8L per 100 km, making it suitable for family use.
