Subaru Outback Engines by Year
This page lists seven Subaru Outback engine entries across the catalog years. The year ranges show when each engine appears in the catalog; they do not, by themselves, establish that every engine was offered in every market or trim.
The entries change over time: EJ253 is listed for 2000–2012, EZ30D for 2001–2009, and EJ255 Turbo for 2005–2009. Later listings include EZ36D for 2010–2018 and FB25B for 2013–2019, followed by FA24D and FB25D, each listed for 2020–2022. These overlapping ranges reflect distinct engine entries, not a single continuous engine lineup.
Engine availability can vary by year and trim. If you need to confirm the engine fitted to a particular vehicle, check its door jamb or owner's manual.
