The carfax for VIN JF1SF635XYH731667 shows a DOHC. Is Carfax wrong?

 

"2.5L H4 PFI DOHC 16V"

Thanx

Not US spec (USDM). All were SOHC. In other parts of the world they had 2.0L DOHC AND Turbo Foresters since 1997.

While I am unfamiliar with Forester engine changeovers, many VIN decoders seem confused by Subaru VINs. My insurance company keeps listing my wife's OBW as LL Bean and it is not.

 

I dunno

its a well known carfax bug.

JF1 - Passenger Vehicle

S - Subaru Brand Line

F - Wagon

6 - 2500cc AWD

3 - L trim

5 - Passenger vehicle with manual seat belts and SRS

X - check digit to insure vin is valid

Y - year.....this shows 2000

Good way to tell, look under the hood. 1998 was the ONLY US year the Forester came with a DOHC.
