Template:Infobox engine/doc

This template is used in articles about engines, including, but not limited to automobile and industrial engines.

Usage

 * See the Parameters section of this document for basic explanations of what data to enter in each parameter.
 * See WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions for detailed explanations of what data to enter in certain parameters and instructions on how to correctly format the data.
 * When entering more than one data point per parameter, use the unbulleted list template  to put each entry on a separate line.  Do not use   to create line breaks in the infobox.
 * In the infobox templates below, conversion templates have been provided for your convenience. After copying the infobox template into the article, enter the data, replacing "NNNN" with numeric entries.  When entering data into the conversion template, enter digits without thousands separators; i.e. 4287 not 4,287.

 * oilsystem: Type of lubricating oil system. Examples: wet sump, dry sump, etc.
 * coolingsystem: Type of cooling system. Examples: air-cooled, water-cooled, oil-cooled, etc.
 * idle: Governed idle rpm i.e. the speed engine rotates under no load under closed throttle to sustain engine function.
 * redline: Redline i.e. the maximal speed engine is designed to be operated continuously at full throttle under load. Not to be confused with high idle and maximal governed RPM.
 * power: Maximum engine power at specified rpm. For engines used in U.S. home market cars use xxx hp where xxx is the power in horsepower (hp). For engines used in Japanese home market cars use xxx PS where xxx is power in metric horsepower (PS). For engines used in British home market cars use xxx bhp where xxx is power in brake horsepower (bhp). For engines used in rest-of-world home market cars, or international or global use engines, use xxx kW where xxx is power in kilowatts (kW). For marine or naval engines, use xxx shp where xxx is power in shaft horsepower (shp). See WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions - Power.
 * specpower: Specific power. Leave blank if unknown.
 * torque: Maximum engine torque at a specified revolutions per minute (rpm). For engines used in U.S. home market cars use xxx ft.lbf at yyyy rpm, where xxx is the torque in foot-pounds and yyyy is the rpm. For engines used in rest-of-world home market cars use xxx Nm at yyyy rpm, where xxx is the torque in Newton metres and yyyy is the rpm. See WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions - Torque.
 * length: Longest dimension of the engine in millimetres. Use xxxx mm where xxxx is the length in millimetres.
 * width: Shorter of the two length measurements of the engine in millimetres. Use xxxx mm where xxxx is the width in millimetres.
 * height: Maximum height of the engine in millimetres. Use xxxx mm where xxxx is the height in millimetres.
 * diameter: Diameter of the engine in millimetres (if appropriate). Use xxxx mm where xxxx is the diameter in millimetres. Leave blank if this does not apply.
 * weight: Weight of the engine in kilograms. Use xxx kg where xxx is the weight in kilograms.
 * emissions level: The most stringent emissions standard(s) the engine is tested to comply with. If an engine has been certified multiple times, list the lowest and highest standard unless intermediate standards marked an important development step. For engines used in U.S. home market cars use United States emission standards. For engines used in EU common market cars use European emission standards. For engines used in rest-of-world home market cars use the locally applicable standard. For global engines (e.g. used in Europe and North America), list both standards.
 * emissions control: Technology employed to control emissions below target level. Examples: Air Injection, and / or Exhaust gas recirculation , and / or Catalytic converter.
