About the Subaru Forester FB25
The fourth-generation Forester's FB25 boxer engine replaced the older timing-belt EJ25. Some early FB engines drew oil consumption complaints, so a tested unit is worth waiting for.
Fitment notes
Forester XT models use the 2.0L turbo FA20DIT. The listing covers the 2014-2018 model years, but options such as drivetrain, emissions package and trim can change the correct part within a single year. That is why we confirm every order with your VIN and the engine code before you pay.
- Share your 17-character VIN with your quote request.
- If possible, send a photo of the engine code on the block or the emissions label.
What is included
Used engines are typically sold as a long block or as a complete assembly with the intake and some accessories. Your quote states exactly what is attached, such as the intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, sensors, alternator or starter, so you know what to transfer from your old engine.
Before you install
Before installation, replace the oil and filter, coolant, spark plugs and thermostat, and inspect the radiator and cooling fans. Prime the oil system before first start and check for leaks during the first run.

Your written quote lists the warranty for this part, the delivery method and both payment stages. The first stage covers verification and freight coordination.
