Does the engine have a production date?
1 Answers
Engines do have production dates. Every vehicle's engine comes with a production date. To check the engine production date: The production date of the engine can usually be found on the metal plate located in the engine compartment. Inside the engine compartment, there is typically an aluminum car plate that displays the vehicle's serial number, engine displacement, model, brand, and importantly, the specific production date. Checking the VIN: Normally, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is located under the front windshield. The 10th digit of the VIN indicates the production date of the vehicle. While each vehicle's VIN is unique, the production date can always be found within it. Generally, the vehicle's manual will also clearly state the production date, which can be compared with the date on the VIN to ensure consistency.
