Two choices "S" or "U". this appears about midway in the vehicle vin.
It's the 8th character in the VIN.
Also, here's how I remember which one is which:
The Mercury Sable and the Ford Taurus will have DOC in printed on the engine if they are dual overhead cam engines. The symbol should be on the top of the engine.
No 2011 Mercury Sable model , but there is a 2011 Ford Taurus
Could be sucking air into intake.
No they do not
No, a Generation 2 (1992-1995) Taurus/Sable Windshield will NOT fit a Generation 3 (1996-1999) Ford Taurus/Sable.
99% sure the Taurus radiator will be a perfect match to the Sable's.
You run the engine till warm then look underneath and see if the pump is leaking. A faulty pump leak is very visible in Taurus/Sable.
My 2002 manual says: 11.6 quarts for the Vulcan engine and 10.6 for the Duratec.
Yes.
Yes, it does.
Ford Motor Company, Dearborn Michigan, produces the Ford Taurus, and it's fraternal twin, Mercury Sable
Ford Motor Company makes Fords, Lincolns & Mercurys. The Mercury Sable is the same car as a Ford Taurus, just different names and a little different trim. they use the same parts.
