Do I have a 2.5?? lol
Hi everyone my names Johnson, im new here, so this is my first post.

I was wondering, cause I havent actually HAVE my car yet, (Dont have it until Monday) Its a 99' Mercury Cougar V6, but I dont know if its a 2.5L or a 3.0L

I didnt want to post this question in the "2.5L DURATEC Performance" because it just doesnt sound right.

And if my car is a 2.5L/3.0L how do you know? Is it the year?

Thank You

They never came 3.0l stock, so it's going to be a 2.5l unless the previous owner swapped it out. Which is something they would've stated.

Unless someone swapped a 3L in it's a 2.5L. The only factory V6 option in a 99-02 Coug was the 2.5L Duratec.

Look for V6 badging on the trunk. If it's got all round disc brakes, its a 2.5L. As far as the 3.0 goes, that can only be swapped from a Taurus, Escape....Considering the only engines available for the Cougar from 99-02 were the 2L Zetec and 2.5 Duratec.

Welcome!

I highly doubt you have a 3.0L; the Cougar was never produced with the 3L. You can tell by popping open your hood and taking a look at the engine - it should say "Duratec 2.5L" or something along those lines. Post some pics of the new ride!



*wow* that was quick

Re: Do I have a 2.5?? lol
Thanks for all your fast replies!

So now that I know its a 2.5L (Cause like someone said, its probably very unlikely for a 3.0L)

Another quick question...Whats a "Duratec"? Like...Is it better than a regular engine? And...Do I have a Duratec?

Lol sorry for all these questions!

Oh btw, I will be posting up some pics probably Monday or Tuesday!

I should answer this out of spite, but I'll just say "Welcome to NECO" to the new guy instead.
