You can find a Subaru engine code by looking for a sticker or stamped plate on the engine block or under the hood, checking the VIN decoder in your owner's manual or on the door jamb, or by finding a specific sticker with engine information on the vehicle's chassis or body.

- Stickers: Check for stickers on the engine cover, radiator support, or on the chassis tag located on the strut tower.
