1. Engine Block:
* Near the front of the engine block: Look for a raised area or a tag attached to the block. The engine number is typically stamped or engraved into this area. You might need a flashlight or mirror to see it clearly.
2. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Plate:
* Driver's side doorjamb: The VIN plate is usually located on the driver's side doorjamb, near the door latch. While the VIN doesn't contain the full engine number, it can be used to look up the engine information through a VIN decoder.
3. Service/Maintenance Records:
* Your owner's manual: Check your owner's manual for information on where to find the engine number.
* Previous service records: If you have previous service records from a dealership or mechanic, the engine number may be listed.
4. Online VIN Decoder:
* Websites like Carfax, AutoCheck, or VINCheck: Use your VIN to access a free or paid VIN decoder that may provide engine information.
Important Note: You may need to clean the area around the engine number to make it more visible.
If you are still having trouble finding the engine number, it's best to consult a trusted Toyota dealership or mechanic. They can help you locate the number and ensure you have the correct information.
