Where is the Mitsubishi engine serial number located?
2 Answers
Mitsubishi engine's serial number is located at the junction of the engine and transmission, where there is a flat raised surface with a series of numerical codes. Related information about Mitsubishi engines: 1. Location: The engine number is stamped on the engine block, on both sides at the rear of the cylinder block. However, sometimes the position is difficult to see with the naked eye, requiring the use of a lift for inspection. 2. Engine specifications: The Mitsubishi engine is a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power output of 167 horsepower and a maximum torque of 197 Nm. The fuel efficiency of this engine is also quite high, with a combined fuel consumption of 7.5L per 100 kilometers.
I've been repairing Mitsubishi cars for over a decade, and the engine number is usually stamped on the engine block, often in an easily accessible outer position—such as the side of the block near the crankshaft pulley or around the camshaft cover. If the engine is covered in grime, I first spray cleaner or brake fluid to remove surface dirt, then wipe it down with a soft cloth. The engine number is typically a raised combination of letters and digits used to identify the model and serial number. If you can't find it, it might be due to model variations—for example, older Outlander models have the number stamped at the rear of the block, requiring partial shield removal for inspection. Safety first—always wait for the engine to cool to avoid burns. If you can't locate it, take it to a professional shop. For cleaning, I often use a toothbrush for tight spots and apply rust inhibitor if corrosion is severe. In short, don't rush—check carefully, as the block is the most common location.
