Re: What is V6-182ci 3.0L F/l Vin S or Vin U?
the VIN S is the 3.0 24V DOHC Duratec engine
the VIN U is the 3.0 OHV Vulcan engine If you open up your hood and your engine looks like this - http://www.edmunds.com/media/roadtes...on.eng.175.jpg then you have a Vin S, if not, vin U

All GS series Sables came with the Vulcan. All LS series came with the Duratec. I guess they reserved the higher horsepower engine for the expensive cars.
But the Vulcan is the more reliable engine--go figure.
