I have a 2023 Chevy Premier 4WD. How can I tell what size engine it has? I've heard the if the Vin number has an L in the 8th position, it's a 5.3L. If its a J, it's the Ecotec 3 6.2L engine. How can I tell for sure?

Welcome to the forum, from Oregon.

What is the 8th digit of your V.I.N.? Also, there is a sticker under the hood with the engine size on it. Did you buy this truck and not know the engine size?

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Pics of the truck, please.

You are already receiving clarifying questions from the knowledgeable folks on this Forum.

The RPO sticker located on the driver's side door jam can also tell you what motor you have.

5.3 - L84

6.2 - L87

Open the fuel filler door. If the fuel door says 87 octane recommend it’s a 5.3 liter. If the fuel door says 91 octane recommend you have a 6.2 liter engine.
