CORRECT ENGINE AND FILTER IDENTIFICATION

In some domestic vehicles, there are two or more engines that are the same size but do not use the same products. In order to properly identify the correct product for your vehicle, you must first match the engine code from your vehicle identification number with the character listed in our Application Section.

If your vehicle is a Chrysler, Ford or GM product manufactured from 1972-80, use the fifth character on the VIN Plate, or if it was manufactured from 1981-15 use the eighth character.

If your vehicle is manufactured by AMC/Eagle (except Jeep) from 1974-80, use the seventh character, 1981-88 uses the fifth character and 1989-15 uses the eighth character.

If your vehicle was manufactured by Jeep from 1972-74 (up to Serial Number 100000), use the eighth character, 1974-80 uses the seventh character, 1981-88 uses the fourth character and 1989-015 uses the eighth character.
