|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tested OEM used (A2Z) | Below dealer | 9 months / 6,000 mi | Compression + run test | Good, verified |

| Junkyard core | Lowest | Often none | Rarely tested | Variable |

Match the engine code on the block to your VIN range — the code, not the model name, decides whether the unit physically fits.

| 2.5L I4 | 2010-2017 | Mid-size sedans and SUVs | VIN position 8 | 6-speed automatic |

| 3.5L V6 | 2011-2017 | Large sedans and minivans | VIN position 8 | 6-speed automatic |

What do the engine terms mean?
A used engine is a tested original unit that has not been rebuilt.
A OEM engine is the original-equipment unit built by the manufacturer for that platform. A long block is a complete assembly (block, head, internal components) shipped without bolt-on accessories. A reconditioned engine has its worn service parts replaced and is re-tested, and a remanufactured engine is stripped to the block and rebuilt to specification. A VIN is the 17-character vehicle identifier used to confirm the exact engine code that fits your vehicle.
