The oil fails the test at a particular temperature if the oil is too viscous. The grade of the oil is that associated with the coldest temperature at which the oil passes the test. For example, if an oil passes at the specified temperatures for 10W and 5W, but fails at the 0W temperature, the oil is grade 5W. It cannot be labeled 0W or 10W.
The B48 engine was revised in 2018, dubbed "B48TU" ("Technical Update"), with notable changes and improvements; a new one-part timing chain as opposed to the earlier two-part, a new separate cooling circuits for the cylinder head and crankcase, and forged conrods and forged crankshaft is now 2.03 lb (1 kg) lighter due to the use of lighter ...
The mini-rotary viscometer is a device used to measure the pumpability of an engine oil at low temperatures. [1] [2] Engine oils must meet viscometric standards including those determined by the MRV in order to be classifiable within SAE J300 viscosity grades. The requirement was added after the winters of 1980-81 and 1981-82 caused major ...
The Mk I Mini One, Cooper and Cooper S all used variants of the Brazilian-built Tritec engine, co-developed by US-based Chrysler and BMW; the Mini One D used a Toyota 1ND-TV diesel engine. In August 2006, BMW announced that future engines would be built in Great Britain, making the car essentially British-built again.
There are three versions of the engine, 1.4 L (1,397 cc), 1.6 L (1,598 cc) and supercharged 1.6 L (1,598 cc). BMW complained about the performance of the engine. According to Ward's Auto, Erich Sonntag of BMW described the Tritec engine as old fashioned and not very effective on function, performance and fuel efficiency.
It is the only remaining, not revoked classification of the API Two-Cycle motor oil specifications (TA, TB, TC, TD). Being a very old standard itself, most currently produced 2T lubricants meet its specifications, even the lowest quality ones; current high-quality oils exceed them (often labeled "API TC+" although not based on actual measurements).
The BMW B38 is a 1.2 and 1.5 L (1,198 and 1,499 cc) turbocharged straight-three DOHC petrol engine, which replaced the straight-four BMW N13.Production started in 2013. It is part of a modular BMW engine family, of straight-three (B38), straight-four and straight-six alloy block and head petrol engines, [1] which use a displacement of 400 cc (24.4 cu in) per cylinder in the 1.2 and 500 cc (30. ...
The BMW versions of the Prince engine are known as the N13 and the Mini versions are N12 (Double VANOS, Valvetronic 88 kW (118 hp) at 6000 rpm) in 2007–2010 Cooper; N14 (Single VANOS, Turbocharged 128 kW (171 hp) at 5500 rpm) in 2007–2010 Cooper-S; N14 (Single VANOS, Turbocharged 155 kW (208 hp) at 6000 rpm) in 2009–2013 JCW Cooper; N16 ...
