I'll use either one, some have consistant usage though.
Motor
Motorway ( Brit Highway )
Motorcycle
Motoring ( Brit, ride in the country )
Motor Car
Motorcade
Motorhead ( car person or rock band)
Motor Mount ( rubber blocks that hold the engine/ motor )
Motor oil
Engine
Engine displacement
Engine lift ( portable crane )
Engine stand
Check Engine Light ( US dash warning for a car engine/motor computer
fault)
Small engine ( on a lawnmower )
Check the engine oil ( instruction in the owners manual)
That should get things started ;+)
