Where can I check the engine model?

[AdrianDella]

The engine number is generally located on the outer surface of the engine cylinder block, or on the vehicle's nameplate, the nameplate inside the engine compartment. You can also check the engine number on the car purchase invoice; the factory certificate includes the engine number; the operating certificate of commercial vehicles contains the engine number; the vehicle purchase tax payment certificate has the engine number; the public security authority's registration records include the engine number; the vehicle insurance card lists the engine number; it can also be found below the windshield directly in front of the driver's seat. The simplest and most direct method is to look at the vehicle's administrative green book or the vehicle's driving license. The engine number is like a person's ID number, representing each vehicle. It contains very important information about the vehicle. The engine model is an identification code assigned by the engine manufacturer in accordance with relevant regulations, corporate or industry practices, and the engine's attributes, for a batch of identical products. It indicates information such as the manufacturer, specifications, performance, features, technology, purpose, and production batch of the engine, including fuel type, number of cylinders, displacement, and static braking power, etc. Engines installed in passenger cars or multi-purpose passenger vehicles are required to display the professional manufacturer's name, model, and production number. It's important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specifications and size of the engine within the manufacturer's lineup, and engine models can be the same. The engine number refers to the production number of the engine, where each engine can only have one unique number, and no two engines share the same number. Composition of the vehicle engine number: Front part: Includes the product series code, generation symbol, and regional or corporate code, which are selected by the manufacturer as needed and must be approved and filed by the industry standard's regulatory body. Middle part: Consists of symbols for the number of cylinders, cylinder arrangement type, stroke, and cylinder diameter. Rear part: Comprises symbols for structural features and usage characteristics. Tail part: Distinguishing symbol. When differentiation is needed within the same series due to improvements or other reasons, the manufacturer selects appropriate symbols to indicate this, and the rear and tail parts can be separated by a hyphen.
