Open the hood of the car. Locate the cylinder block and check on its left-hand front face. The engine number should be there.
mine was around 100 miles
It depends on the engine and the country. Read your owners manual for the correct answer for your particular vehicle.

GM initially bought 50% percent of SAAB in 1999 and then bought the rest of the company in 2000. They then sold SAAb to Spyker Cars. For more information, read this article at: http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B04E1DE1F3BF932A25752C0A9669C8B6
The engine number on a 1967 Plymouth Barracuda can be checked by looking at the cast number on the rear of the top, rear of the engine. It is stamped into the block, but is difficult to read due to its placement behind other components.
That's not a valid code. 9141 is the standard for the obd system that Saab uses, someones scanner was on the wrong setting or not compatible. Have it read again. That is just an OBD-2 protocol not a code. It tells you what engine it has. 9141-2 is 148 h.p. gasoline engine.
Whether in a Saab or any car, the CHECK ENGINE light is an indication that something has gone out of spec. It is most often something in the emisisons system. A code is stored in the car's on-board computer and needs to be read with a diagnostic computer. Once the problem has been diagnosed, the technician can proceed with repair. Saab generally uses a proprietary computer system, so only Saab dealers have the proper diagnostic computer. Some independent Saab shops have purchased used computers from Saab dealers and may be able to help. == == the check engine light will come on as a function of mileage since the last time it was reset. I don't remember >exactly< how to reset it so it doesn't come on each time you start the engine, but I do remember it has to do with using the "clear" button on the SID. I think you hold the clear button down, and after 4 or 8 seconds it will change it's mode and display...but keep holding it down and a few seconds later it will actually clear and reset the 'check engine' light. Sorry I don't remember what mode the SID display should be in to start the clearing process. (I just bought a 1996 SAAB 900 convertible a few months ago...had the check engine light start coming on, did some web searches and came up with this solution...which I partially remember. :{)
I got an MPV 2000, also had challenges identifying where the engine number is. Had to call in a mech, but you can DIY, you can read the engine number from beneath the engine not too far from the oil filter, or somewhere very close, cos the mech didnt have any problem locating it, got the engine number out in a minute.
The engine serial number is located on the case under the oil filler neck. The engine number is located on the side of the sump. You may need to clean the area to read the number.
There are dozens of sensors that can turn on the check engine light. You need to have the codes read with a scan tool, and can than ask a question with the code number.There are dozens of sensors that can turn on the check engine light.
