How do you read the VIN number to find engine size?

The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique code assigned to each vehicle manufactured. It provides important information about the vehicle, including its engine size. The VIN is typically located on the driver's side door jamb, but can also be found on the vehicle's title and registration documents.

To read the VIN number to find the engine size, you need to locate the 10th digit of the VIN. This digit represents the engine code, which can be used to determine the engine size. Here is a breakdown of the 10th digit of the VIN and the corresponding engine size:

A - 1.0L-1.4L

B - 1.5L-1.9L

C - 2.0L-2.4L

D - 2.5L-2.9L

E - 3.0L-3.4L

F - 3.5L-3.9L

G - 4.0L-4.4L

H - 4.5L-4.9L

J - 5.0L-5.4L

K - 5.5L-5.9L

L - 6.0L-6.4L

M - 6.5L-6.9L

N - 7.0L-7.4L

P - 7.5L-7.9L

R - 8.0L-8.4L

S - 8.5L-8.9L

T - 9.0L-9.4L

V - 9.5L-9.9L

W - 10.0L-10.4L

X - 10.5L-10.9L

Y - 11.0L-11.4L

Z - 11.5L-11.9L

For example, if the 10th digit of the VIN is "E", the engine size is likely between 3.0L and 3.4L. It's important to note that some vehicles may have different engine sizes assigned to the same 10th digit, so it's always best to refer to the vehicle's specifications for exact details.
