Jlopez Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Hello, I have a 2011 Subaru Forester and the engine can not start. Is a cylinder one issue. I was searching more about the issue and found about the oil consumption problem. My car is a salvage title so it doesn't have any warranty. The FB25 engine, from what I found searching on the internet, is used on the Forester since 2011 to present. I would like to replace the engine for a newer one (2016 or newer). Can any one knows about the modifications that it needs to be done for this scenario: A 2016 FB25 on a 2011 Forester? Any Help? Thanks.

wtdash Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Using car-part.com I see that the 2011-2013 should swap. Nothing about the 2016 or newer for an interchange. But looking @ the 2016 option shows that they ALL are PZEV (see attached) so I'd doubt they'd be an option anyway. Remember that there were PZEV (Google it) and NON-PZEV versions in 2011 and you need to confirm yours matches. Also, the 2011 oil consumption was a recall by Subaru, so you should be able to tell by the VIN number of the donor car whether the engine was replaced/fixed before you buy. The VIN should be stamped on the engine - usually on the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
