Where is the engine number located on the Mazda6?
2 Answers
The engine number of the Mazda6 is located on the engine block, while the chassis number is positioned below the left side of the windshield. Additional information about the vehicle's engine number is as follows: 1. Both the engine number and chassis number serve as identification codes that help car owners understand their vehicles, hence they are typically placed in highly visible locations. 2. The fourth digit of the engine number identification represents information about the vehicle's chassis series.
I've been repairing cars for over 20 years and often get asked where the engine number is on a Mazda6. Generally, after opening the hood, the number is engraved on the engine block, located near the front or side, such as near the ignition coils or below the intake manifold. For the actual process, it's recommended to wait until the engine cools down and carefully inspect with a flashlight, as oil or dust may obscure the view. The Mazda6 engine number consists of 17 alphanumeric characters used for vehicle identification and anti-theft purposes, and must be accurately recorded during ownership transfers or repairs. If you can't find it, check the owner's manual or consult a dealership—they usually have illustrated guides. Don't rush to replace parts; first confirm the location to avoid damaging components by mistake. Having assisted many owners, I've noticed slight variations by model year, but post-2010 models typically have it on the right side of the block—patience will pay off.
