To find an engine serial number, first review your vehicle's owner's manual, which typically includes diagrams and specifics on where to locate the number. Most commonly, the engine serial number is stamped directly onto the engine block. This is usually found on a flat area that's easily visible after opening the hood. Positions vary by manufacturer but often are near the engine's front side or on the cylinder block. For modern vehicles, this information might also be accessible through the onboard diagnostic system. If you're having trouble, online forums, manufacturer websites, and even local dealerships can provide guidance specific to your vehicle make and model. Remember, the engine serial number is crucial for parts, service, and repair, making it accurate identification important for vehicle maintenance.
The check engine light in a car is a warning signal from your vehicle's onboard diagnostic system. It indicates that something is wrong within the engine or the components connected to it. The issue could be as minor as a loose gas cap or as severe as a faulty catalytic converter, or an indication of other potential issues such as with the car's emissions system, ignition coil, spark plugs, etc. It's recommended to get your vehicle checked by a professional when the light appears, to prevent further damage or potential safety issues.

This warm-up period shouldn't take more than a minute or two. However, note that modern engines warm up more quickly when they're actually driven. So, the best approach is to start the car and drive gently until it reaches optimal operating temperature.
