Crossplane V8 engines have a left and right bank each containing 4 cylinders. When the engine is running, pistons are firing according to the engine firing order. If a bank has two consecutive piston firings it will create a high pressure area in the exhaust pipe, because two exhaust pulses are moving through it close in time.
The oil collects in sump (1), is withdrawn continuously by scavenge pump (2) and travels to the oil tank (3), where gases entrained in the oil separate and the oil cools. Gases (6) are returned to the engine sump. Pressure pump (4) forces the de-gassed and cooled oil (5) back to the engine's lubrication points (7).
Today, motor oil in the US is generally sold in bottles of one U.S. quart (950 mL) and on a rarity in one-liter (33.8 U.S. fl oz) as well as in larger plastic containers ranging from approximately 4.4 to 5 liters (4.6 to 5.3 U.S. qt) due to most small to mid-size engines requiring around 3.6 to 5.2 liters (3.8 to 5.5 U.S. qt) of engine oil.
The 5L-E is a 3.0 L (2,985 cc) EFI version of the 5L engine. It is the latest member of the L family. It is the latest member of the L family. It has a bore and stroke of 99.5 mm × 96 mm (3.92 in × 3.78 in), with a compression ratio of 22.2:1.
Although PTFE has been called "the slickest substance known to man", [15] [16] it would hardly do any good if it remains in the oil filter. Some mass-market engine oil additives, notably the ones containing PTFE/Teflon (e.g. Slick 50) [17] and chlorinated paraffins (e.g. Dura Lube), [18] caused a major backlash by consumers; the U.S. Federal ...
The GM Ecotec engine, also known by its codename L850, is a family of all-aluminium inline-four engines, displacing between 1.2 and 2.5 litres.Confusingly, the Ecotec name was also applied to both the Buick V6 Engine when used in Holden Vehicles, as well as the final DOHC derivatives of the previous GM Family II engine; the architecture was substantially re-engineered for this new Ecotec ...
In 1974, both the 253 and 308 engines (now called 4.2L and 5.0L) were added to the Torana range for the first time in the LH series (after an aborted attempt by Holden Dealer Team boss Harry Firth to introduce the V8 to the smaller LJ in 1972 which was stopped by the "supercar scare"). In fact the SLR5000 only weighed 40kg more than the XU-1.
