The engine number of Lexus IS is located in the engine compartment of the car, on the plastic cover above the engine. Taking the 2017 Lexus IS as an example, it is a mid-size car with body dimensions of: length 4680mm, width 1810mm, height 1430mm, wheelbase of 2800mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 66l. The 2017 Lexus IS features an independent double-wishbone front suspension with a stabilizer bar, a multi-link rear suspension with a stabilizer bar, and is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine delivering a maximum horsepower of 245PS, a maximum power of 180kW, and a maximum torque of 350Nm.
As someone who frequently works on cars, let me tell you that the engine number of a Lexus IS is typically engraved on the engine block under the hood, usually located on the front or side metal surface of the engine. Make sure to park the car, turn off the engine, and wait for it to cool before opening the hood to avoid burns. If you can't find it, don't panic—check the VIN plate at the bottom left corner of the windshield, as it contains relevant engine information for registration or servicing. Newer IS models might have changes, so it's best to consult the owner's manual or confirm with a professional shop—this is quite important to avoid accidentally damaging the engine. During routine maintenance, ask the technician to point it out for you, and always remember: safety first.
