Best Answer

If the engine is labeled DURATEC V6 under the hood.

It should also have a 24V DOHC emblem on the front fenders, but those sometimes fall off or don't get replaced if the car is repainted. Another indicator is if there's NO room in the engine compartment - especially if you start wondering 'how would I ever get to the back sparkplugs" - then you're likely looking at the DOHC.
