FAQs

Where is the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) located on the vehicle?

The VIN is stamped on a plate attached to the left side of the dashboard just inside the windshield on the driver’s side. It also appears on the Vehicle Certificate of Title and Registration.

How do you locate engine ID numbers on different engine types?

On four-cylinder engines, the engine ID number is on a machined surface on the right side of the block between cylinders 3 and 4. For V6 engines, it is on a pad at the front of the block, and for six-cylinder engines it is on the right side between cylinders 2 and 3.

What is the difference between standard and metric fasteners, and why does it matter?

Standard and metric bolts differ by diameter, thread pitch, and length, and they are not interchangeable. They can also be distinguished by bolt head measurements in inches (standard) versus millimeters (metric), which affects which wrenches can be used.
