Overview
The GM Ecotec engine, also known by its codename L850, is a family of 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 application produced since 2000.
