To find it, you'll likely need to:
* Open the hood.
* Look closely at the engine block. The engine number is usually stamped into the metal. It might be on a relatively flat surface, or on a raised area or casting.
* Check near the cylinder head and the firewall. These are common areas.
* Look for a clean, relatively flat area where a number could be stamped. Sometimes it's partially obscured by other components.
* Consult your owner's manual. This is the most reliable way to determine the exact location for your specific year and model Ford Escape. The manual should have diagrams or pictures showing the engine number's location.
If you can't find it after checking these areas, a Ford dealership or mechanic can easily locate it for you.
