Subaru Forester Engine problems - Page 8 - Edmunds
I am going to buy a Subaru Forester and am trying to decide between a new 2011 2.5X (one up from base - i.e. w/sunroof) or a slightly used 2010 2.5X (same trim line w/12,000 miles on it). The difference in price here in Canada is $7,000. I understand that the …

The correct capacity for the engine oil for the 2004 Forester XT is 5 quarts when replacing the engine oil and filter. The 4.2 quart capacity noted in your owner's manual is for the 2004 Forester non-turbo models when just filling up the engine oil and not replacing the filter.

2010年12月14日 · The older generations (pre-2005, I think, for Outback - not sure about Forester) routed the exhaust differently (behind the engine rather than in front of it), so there was more room for the filter (and it had a larger casing as a result), but the exhaust also extended further toward the ground, which resulted in less ground clearance and a ...
2009 Forester engine ping "They all do that" - Edmunds
Subaru's senior engine tech in Australia visited and replaced the ECU (which was remapped a little) but said that the single biggest cause of engine problems was poor fueling.

So, the 2011 Outback, which is made in Indiana, is still receiving the old SOHC timing-belt engine from Japan. And uses dino oil on the old schedule. While the 2011 Forester, made in Japan, has the new DOHC timing-chain engine, and uses synthetic oil, now extended to the old schedule.
Forester - Headgasket Repair & Engine Rebuild - Edmunds
Posted this over at 'sub crew - prob and solutions' but wanted to post here also. Had the valves replaced in my 99 forester (sohc) engine. Valve clearances values shown on the underside of the engine hood show a fairly wide range = intake 0.10 - 0.25 .. exhaust 0.15 - 0.30. The shop that did the engine work set the upper value on initial ...
Subaru Forester Speed Control/RPM Surge Problems
Thanks, Brian. I believe that the problem began in 2006, but I am not certain. There are several complaints about it on this site under "Subaru Forester Engine Issues". In particular, gman67's post titled "high idle". There are also references to the problem on Google's "alt.autos.subaru" news group, under the posting "surging Forester".
2010 Forester bought yesterday-Check Engine Light Seriously?
The loaner is also a 2011 Forester; however, it lacks what I loved the most about my 2011: Fog Lights, Pan Sun-Roof, Navigation w/ Backup cam, Leather seats etc. I am really satisfied with Subaru despite this experience. This is my 3rd Subaru. It started with a 1992 Legacy, then 2002 Forester, and this 2011 model Forester.
