Talk:Toyota GR engine

Oil capacity

cuantos cuartos de aceite usa ese motor

Translates to 'how many quarts of oil used by that engine?'

I don't know but it should be in the car's owner handbook. 4-6 litres is common for many engines.

Transmission

I`d like to read some more in the article about the transmission. Is it a Toyota-Product too, what type is used, etc. ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.123.154.144 (talk) 09:02, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry took the wrong page for that question and cant delete it. So, admin - please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.123.154.144 (talk) 09:05, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Model years vs Production years

There seems to be an issue with certain people insisting on listing the 1GR-FE VVT-i engine application for the FJ Cruiser as 2006-2009 instead of 2007-2009 under the guise that in the wiki auto section people use production years instead of the "American model years". What they don't understand however is that all the "production years" data in this and many other wikipages in regards to "production years" are in fact actual MODEL YEARS. This isn't always this coincidence as there are many instances where vehicles were actually made a year prior to the "listed production year". I do not care to "correct this" for each vehicle but it needs to be emphasized that the vast majority of these "production years" as some are insisting are in fact model years. There are many fewer instances where it's actually production years instead of model years.

The 'certain people' is me, so I'll respond. The problem comes down to Americans using model years as the end of the first full year and non-Americans using the calendar year at the start of the first full year. So a vehicle introduced in early 2006 is called a 2007 by Americans and a 2006 by non-Americans. Non Americans have absolutely no concept of the way that Americans do it, nor they even have any clues that the date is not a calendar date. Americans at least know what a calendar date is, which makes it a candidate for a compromise between us. So what we have done in many other articles is to put a month in there. That way all parties (both American and non-American) understand that these are calendar years. I will endeavour to go through the various dates in this article and find the appropriate dates (as months and years) and make it consistent. I'm quite busy at my day job though, so it might take me a week to go through it. Cheers. Stepho talk 22:01, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There are many inconsistencies on this still, for example, the 7GR was corrected to be 2015, however the 1GR still lists as the 2005 on Tacoma, production of that vehicle started in 2004, again with the 2003 4Runner, production which started in 2002. If it is going to be calendar years, do it for all of the vehicles. --Jeff — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.191.229.34 (talk) 18:32, 9 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My time is a bit short but I will try to clean it up over the next week. Stepho talk 21:35, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

British English vs American English

We've gone back and forth between the dialects a bit lately. Going back to 18 March 2022 (the last version before the English changes), we have:

5x aluminium (UK)
2x litre (UK)
3x gasoline (US) - not counting reference titles or category titles because they don't change no matter which dialect of English we use.

An anon-IP changed 2 instances of gasoline to petrol. 2601:601:1300:fcf0:114:78d3:328a:d35f reverted them. I restored them. 2601:601:1300:fcf0:114:78d3:328a:d35f then reverted them again. Article is currently a mix of British and American English.

The article had 7 UK variations vs 3 US variations. Therefore the article should be entirely British and not half British, half American. Stepho talk 01:44, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

All instances of "aluminium" were also changes from "aluminum" by edits that changed nothing else, in August 2019. You edited the article that same month and didn't see a need to revert those. At what point do we stop considering edits an attempt to change the dialect and start considering them historical precedent? 2601:601:1300:FCF0:C00B:D103:631D:62E1 (talk) 02:12, 21 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, strange - I normally revert such changes in either direction. I have no idea why I missed that one. We recently had a discussion on historical precedent at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style#MOS:ERA:_dispute_over_what_"established_era_style"_means. As usual, no decision was made. Regardless, I'm willing to remove my claim for British English. Therefore we need to replace a couple of instances of 'litre' with 'liter'. Stepho talk 13:14, 22 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

2GR-FSE is referring to fuel stratification.

Where is says the D4S requires a certain type of engine with certain characteristics of the pistons etc. It's referring to this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratified_charge_engine Search brings up a ton of other reference worthy journeys, videos, and better explains the science behind it all.

Without the reference i just gave that whole section is irrelevant. So hopefully this attributes to it, as it is indeed encyclopedic. 24.19.141.129 (talk) 07:44, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
