Gili cars under the Emgrand brand have been produced since 2009. The first model was developed specifically for the European market. Therefore, all cars of the brand meet European requirements, including the type of engine oil used.

Model range Geely Emgrand

Initially, the owners of the Geely concern planned to use the Emgrand brand for only one car model. But, thanks to the demand for these machines on the market, there are now several lines called Geely Emgrand.

On the market, the brand is provided in the following variations:

• EC7 - the first option, produced since 2009, D-class. There are several variations - sedan, hatchback (EC7-RV), electric version (EC7-EV);
• X7 - the company's first crossover, has 2 generations (2009 and 2013);
• EC8 - E-class sedan, mass-produced since 2010;
• x9- Chinese SUV class K2, on the market since 2012;
• GL - new for 2016, D-class sedan;
• GS Sport - SUV provided in Beijing, 2016;
• GT - sedan, on the market since 2017

As you can see, the company does not waste time and constantly provides customers with new products.

Geely Emgrand engine oil features

These vehicles only use synthetic oil. The manufacturer recommends changing it at least every 10,000 km (or one year, whichever comes first). If Geely Emgrand is used in difficult conditions, this period should be halved.

It is worth choosing which oil to fill in according to the quality of the products and compliance with the requirements in the technical documentation. When the machine leaves the factory, it is filled with Shell Helix Ultra 5W40. Further, it is recommended to use the same or similar. So, for replacement, you can take 5W40 from LUKOIL, LOTOS, Liqui Moly or any other company.

Why is it necessary to fill in new oil?

Lubrication not only protects engine parts from friction, but also gently cleans it. So, in oil used longer than normal, the following substances can be observed:

• spent additives;
• mechanical impurities (erased engine parts);
• oil residue.

In addition, it changes its color and structure (sometimes to almost black). In this case, a large load falls on the engine, increasing the rate of wear of components. With this method of operation, the motor will work without overhaul for no more than the warranty period.

Also when changing the oil Geely Emgrand establish new filter, cleaning it in the process.

The engine is continuously contaminated with oil. This is what causes increased wear, as well as premature failure of rubbing parts. The reliability, power and resource of the internal combustion engine directly depend on the purity of the oil. There are organic and inorganic contaminants. The former are formed due to the combustion of fuel or thermal decomposition and oxidation of the fuel and the oil itself. The situation with the purity of the oil can be exacerbated by various reactions with sulfur and water. Inorganic impurities are dust and small particles of physical wear of parts or used additives.

Oil change process for Geely Emgrand

1) First you need to buy oil, flushing and filter.
2) Flushing must be poured into the tank and mixed with old oil. Then start the engine and leave it to work for a certain time.
3) Drain the used oil from the car.
4) After that, you can fill in the "new".

Flushing is a very important part of the car oil change process. In the case when the oil is replaced without flushing, a huge amount of various contaminants (soot, sludge, spongy formations) remain in the engine.

What does an engine flush do?

1) Removes or softens wear products, soot, carbon deposits.
2) Cleans coked piston rings from dirt, as well as stuck hydraulic lifters.
3) Flushing allows you to clean the oil channels for better oil circulation in the system.
4) It is safe for various seals and oil seals and provides maximum drainage of old oil.

There are two different types of washes - soft and fast. Soft flushing should be poured into the tank with old oil and the car should drive up to 500 km with it. Such a flush will dissolve the accumulated soot from the walls of the car's units. In the case when the car, then the oil can be changed much less often, because a gas-powered car leaves the oil clean for much longer.

Soft washes are best used with a long duration of action, as they are quite gentle on the parts and components of the car. An oil change must be carried out on time, as clogging of the shaft channels may occur.

In the case of a quick flush, we also pour it into the tank with old oil 10 minutes before changing the oil. Then let the car engine run. It is recommended to use it regularly. It has a fairly high-quality washing effect. If such a product is added to the oil of a “slagged” engine, then all solid mechanical particles will clog the oil receiver mesh. This will interfere with the normal circulation of oil, as a result of which it will lead to breakdown of the components and assemblies of the car.

After each flush, a new filter and oil will work more efficiently and efficiently. Timely oil and filter changes will extend the life of your Emgrand.

Geely Emgrand car engine device

To the question whose engine I answer: Chinese engine stands on this machine, KI THAI. Connoisseurs of Toyota engines can easily recognize the 1ZZ-FE in this engine and will be right. One to one, BUT Chinese manufacturers unanimously say that this is their own development. And they are also right, the components in this engine are completely different, not those of Toyota. AND IT IS NOT MADE IN JAPAN. Although it seems that Toyota also has its own assembly plant in China. Therefore, it is easiest for the Chinese to copy, they already have everything they need for this)))

In general, this analogue Toyota motor, if that makes you feel better. By the way, while he showed himself only on the good side.

The cylinder head in this engine is aluminum. The motor has two overhead camshafts, 16 valves (four per cylinder).

The engine has a variable valve timing system CVVT - Continuous variable valve timing (common international name).

Timing chain drive. The valves are mechanically adjusted by selecting the thickness of the pushers.

Apparently the Chinese decided that hydraulic lifters are an extra "trouble" and good motor she's useless.

Timing chain drive

You can talk a lot and for a long time about which drive is better, chain or belt. But each of them has its drawbacks. Belts sometimes break, and the chain stretches and slips. In any case, when the chain breaks on the emgrand engine, the meeting of the valves with the pistons is guaranteed.

INTRODUCTION

Geely Emgrand EC7 is the company's debut in class D, which was released in 2010. The appearance of the new model was preceded by a three-year painstaking work of the Geely research center in fruitful cooperation with well-known brand companies. Emgrand EC7 today is one of the few Chinese cars that have received 4 stars for crash tests according to EuroNCAP standards.
Many components and assemblies of Emgrand were purchased by Geely from third-party manufacturers. For instance, anti-lock braking system the German company Bosch manufactures, the headlights are manufactured by the French company Valeo, and the instrument panel is supplied by the American Visteon.
Initially, the designers wanted to design a car with the best capacity, and they succeeded. So dimensions the car turned out to be quite impressive: length - 4635 mm, width - 1789 mm, height - 1470 mm, wheelbase- 2650 mm. The location of the head optics and stampings on the hood give the front part a certain aggressiveness.

European appearance and the quality of the finishing materials used in the interior destroy the stereotypes that have developed over the past few years about Chinese car. The gaps between the body panels are mostly absent, and if they are, they are minimal and uniform around the entire perimeter. Interior plastic is not soft, but pleasant to the touch. V basic configuration seats and door panels are finished in fabric, but for a surcharge it can be replaced with leather. The joints are neat, and the layout of the devices is concise. The driver's landing is close to vertical, which, along with a large glass area, provides very good visibility. The rear sofa has a folding armrest with cup holders, and the backrest folds proportionally (60/40), opening up access to a huge trunk with a volume of 680 liters. By the way, under the hard floor of the trunk hidden full-size spare wheel, and even on a cast 15-inch (like the rest of the wheels) disk.
Emgrand EC7 is supplied to the market in two trim levels - Basic and Comfort. At the same time, an MP3 radio with a mini-USB output and six speakers, power accessories, air conditioning and fog lights are already available as standard.
The car is equipped with all-wheel disc brakes, ABS+EBD, airbags for the driver and front passenger, and, most importantly, the car has the highest strength of the body. Also this model provided intelligent system Can-Bus-Controller.
Geely Emgrand is equipped with petrol fours with a volume of 1498 and 1792 cm3 with a capacity of 98 and 127 hp. With. respectively, which meet environmental standards "Euro-4". Engines can be aggregated with a 5-speed mechanical box gears. Chassis standard for most representatives of this class: McPherson struts are installed in front, and a semi-independent beam in the back.
After the release of the sedan, the hatchback appeared next - a large five-door car with roomy interior. In technical terms, the hatchback is no different from the sedan, except for the stern - everything else is identical.

This manual provides instructions for the operation and repair of all modifications of the Geely Emgrand EC7, produced since 2010.
