How to Identify the Type of Engine on the Ford Taurus

by Cynthia Measom

To find out which type of engine your Ford Taurus has, you can pop the hood and search for a label on the engine. You can also identify the engine type with the 17-digit vehicle identification number, or VIN. A unique VIN is assigned to each vehicle and provides information about the vehicle, including engine type.

Step 1

Look for the VIN on the driver's side where the windshield meets the dash. Write down the 17-digit number.

Step 2

Visit autocheck.com and enter the VIN number for the Ford Taurus into the designated search box.

Step 3

Click "Enter." You will receive a vehicle summary that lists the type of engine the car possesses, such as 3.5L V6.
