How to Check the Vehicle Engine Number?
2 Answers
Querying the vehicle engine number can be done through the following methods: 1. Use the owner's name, communication device, vehicle license, or license plate number to check on the traffic management bureau's website; 2. Check using documents such as the vehicle license, motor vehicle registration certificate, purchase invoice, factory certificate, operation license for commercial vehicles, or vehicle insurance card; 3. The engine number is located near the left spark plug of the car engine, and you can see it by opening the car's hood. Methods for engine maintenance include: 1. Use qualified engine oil; 2. Use qualified coolant; 3. Regularly clean the radiator scale; 4. Regularly remove carbon deposits from the engine; 5. Replace the vehicle's air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter on time; 6. Check if the spark plugs are damaged.
Checking the engine number is actually quite simple. Let me share a few methods I commonly use. The engine number is printed on the vehicle license, which is usually kept in the car for easy access. Opening the engine hood and looking directly is the most reliable method—the raised number is typically engraved on the side of the metal cylinder block, though you might need to wipe off some oil stains to see it clearly. If you're worried about not finding the location, the first page of the vehicle registration certificate also clearly states it. I remember once before an inspection, I forgot the number, so I called the sales consultant from when I bought the car, and he immediately pulled up the record in the system. If all else fails, just visit a 4S shop or the vehicle management office with your ID and vehicle license—the staff can scan the VIN code with a device to retrieve the engine information, and the whole process takes about ten minutes.
