Subaru Forester Engines by Year

The Subaru Forester engine catalog lists six engine rows, with engine codes and the model years shown for each entry. Use those year ranges to identify which engines are associated with the Forester in a given year.

The listings show changes across the catalog years: EJ251 is listed for 1999–2004, followed by EJ253 for 2005–2010 and FB25BA for 2011–2018. The EJ255 Turbo spans 2004–2013, while FA20F covers 2014–2018 and FB25D covers 2019–2022. The overlapping ranges indicate that more than one engine is listed for some years; the engine code and turbo designation distinguish entries.

This page gives engine names and year coverage, not a complete vehicle-specific fitment or rating. If you need a figure or confirmation for a particular Forester, check the door jamb or owner's manual.
