Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) are a great way to get information about a vehicle’s engine size. Knowing the engine size of a vehicle can be important for many reasons, from purchasing parts to determining fuel economy. Here’s how you can use a VIN number to determine the engine size of your vehicle.

Check Your Vehicle Manual

The first step in determining the engine size of your vehicle is to check your owner’s manual. Many manuals will list the engine size right in the specifications section. If you don’t have the manual, you can often find it online for free or purchase one from an auto parts store.

Use an Online VIN Decoder

If you don’t have access to your owner’s manual, you can use an online VIN decoder to determine your vehicle’s engine size. All you need is your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN number and you can get detailed information about your car or truck, including its engine size. There are many free online VIN decoders available, so it should be easy to find one that works for you.

Contact Your Local Dealer

If all else fails, you can always contact your local dealer and ask them for help in determining the engine size of your vehicle. They should be able to provide this information quickly and easily using their own resources.

Knowing the engine size of your vehicle is important for many reasons, and it’s easy to do using a VIN number. Whether you check your owner’s manual, use an online VIN decoder, or contact your local dealer, you should be able to find out what kind of engine is under the hood of your car or truck in no time at all.
