Where is the engine number located on the Dongfeng Fengxing Lingzhi M5?
2 Answers
The engine number of the Fengxing M5 is located on the right side of the engine, on the engine block below the exhaust manifold. It typically consists of a combination of 7 to 8 digits and letters. In addition to the above method, the engine number can also be checked through the following 4 ways: The vehicle's driving license displays the engine number, usually located on the second-to-last line; The motor vehicle registration certificate will indicate the engine number; The purchase invoice will include the engine number; The vehicle purchase tax payment certificate will also state the engine number. It's important to note that the engine number is not the same as the engine model. The engine model refers to the specification and size of the engine within the manufacturer's range, and engine models can be the same. The engine number, however, 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.
I remember that on the Dongfeng Fengxing Lingzhi M5, the engine number is usually engraved on the right side or front of the engine block. After opening the engine hood, look directly into the engine bay, and near the bottom of the windshield, there's a small metal plate or engraved area. I found it there during my last annual inspection—just wiped off the dust to see it clearly. The engine number is crucial for vehicle registration, transfer, or insurance, so make sure not to get it wrong. Every time I do maintenance, I take the opportunity to check it and clean off any oil stains to prevent corrosion. For beginners, it's best to check after the engine has cooled down—safety first—and use a flashlight for better visibility. If your car is an older version, the location might vary slightly, but don't worry—just take a closer look, and you'll find it eventually. Daily maintenance is simple too—avoid muddy roads to reduce dirt buildup.
