Engine options and spark plug counts

How to confirm your engine type
Check the vehicle identification number (VIN)
The VIN and its associated build sheet can identify the exact engine in your 2016 Chrysler 200. Look up the VIN on the driver-side dash or door jamb sticker, or use your dealership’s database to confirm the engine code.
Inspect the engine badge or owner’s manual
The engine type is usually listed on the engine cover, under-hood labels, or in the owner’s manual. If you’re unsure which engine you have, these quick references can help you determine whether your car uses the 2.4L I4 or the 3.6L V6.
