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

==Usage==
* See the [[#Parameters|Parameters]] section of this document for '''basic''' explanations of what data to enter in each parameter.
* See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions#Infoboxes|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 [[Template:Unbulleted list|unbulleted list template]] <nowiki>{{ubl | fact one | fact two | et cetera }}</nowiki> to put each entry on a separate line. Do not use <nowiki><br /></nowiki> to create line breaks in the infobox.
* In the infobox templates below, [[WP:AUN|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.
