Here's why:
* VINs identify the entire vehicle, not just the engine. The VIN is a unique identifier that covers the chassis, body, and all components, including the engine.
* Engine numbers are specific to the engine. They identify the engine's production details, but not the vehicle it's installed in.
To find the VIN of a Subaru:
1. Check the driver's side dashboard. Look for a sticker near the windshield that contains the VIN.
2. Locate the VIN plate. This is usually found on the driver's side doorjamb, near the hinge.
3. Check the vehicle registration or title. These documents will also list the VIN.
Remember: It's essential to use the VIN for accurate vehicle identification and records.
