Where is the Lincoln MKC engine number located?
2 Answers
Lincoln MKC engine number is located on the passenger side of the engine compartment, and can be seen after opening the hood. The engine number is a unique identification code assigned by the engine production platform, similar to a person's ID card. Each engine has its own independent serial number, through which we can trace the factory information of the engine. Below is an introduction to the components of the engine number: 1. Prefix: Represents the product series symbol and generation indicator, consisting of letters selected by the manufacturer as needed, but must be approved by relevant authorities. 2. Middle section: Composed of symbols indicating cylinder count, stroke type, cylinder arrangement pattern, and cylinder diameter. 3. Suffix: Represents structural features and usage characteristics, denoted by letters. 4. Tail section: Differentiation symbol. When differentiation is required due to improvements or other reasons within the same product series, the manufacturer selects appropriate symbols for representation.
As a veteran MKC owner with eight years of experience, I'm quite familiar with locating the engine number. Open the hood and crouch beside the front right wheel, then look toward the rear lower part of the engine. You'll find it engraved directly on the metal surface where the transmission connects to the engine. The spot is notoriously tricky - you'll need a flashlight to see it clearly. The alphanumeric characters are stamped right into the metal. Last annual inspection was a hassle when making the rubbing; the mechanic had to use a mirror to locate it. Bring wet wipes as the area tends to accumulate grime that obscures visibility. This number is also printed on both your vehicle registration and insurance documents - you can cross-reference these if you really can't find it. During routine maintenance, ask your technician to clean this spot for easier future reference.
