Spanish term or phrase: propulsor
seems simple enough, but can't find any good priors in proz.com...

it refers to part of a car engine (i NEVER do technical translations but have been begged to!)

propulsion? thruster? propulsor motor?

here is a sample: "El grado de viscosidad del aceite y sus características avanzadas protegen el propulsor en las condiciones ambientales y de funcionamiento más extremas"... and they continue to talk about this oil and how wonderful it is for the engine and "propulsor" ....ta!
