  1. Gen 2: 2000-2004
    I have a 2003 Subaru outback H6 3.0. Transmission went out a few months ago. Just found a 2002 Subaru outback H6 3.0 in a junkyard and I went to see if it was still there. Can I put the 2002 transmission directly into a 2003? I don't believe I have a VDC. I know the transmissions do vary by 1...
  2. Gen 3: 2005-2009
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tmY3Wa5mcT4hjgR6Z3S8LgMCMd6sO8R6/view?usp=drivesdk Here’s everything I know about this issue I’m dealing with: 2006 Subaru Outback L.L. Bean (the H6 engine, has a slightly different power steering system than the h4 models) with 204,000 miles. I’ve been...
  3. Gen 3: 2005-2009
    2005 Subaru Outback 3.0R Sedan, 150,000 miles This issue started about 2 months ago. My Cruise Control kicks off at the top of EVERY hill on the interstate, then CEL flashes for about 5 seconds and goes out. Once the road levels out, I can resume using Cruise Control. When I put the reader on...
  4. Outback Unpaved
    Pontoontodd on youtube: "...The Vegas to Reno is the longest point to point off road race in the US. In 2021 it was 490 miles entirely off pavement. We paced ourselves better that year than on past attempts and were able to finish within the time limit (17 hours 40 minutes, time limit 19...
  5. Gen 2: 2000-2004
    Subaru outback H6. I see a mechanized hole in the top of the manifold and I don´t know exactly the function. Is perhaps a vent of the induction control valve or perhaps I have a mixed cap producing a lost of vacuum at iddle?
  6. Gen 3: 2005-2009
    My '08 H6 is going in for service next week, and hoping for some other opinions before they diagnose some strange coolant system issues. Transmission has a bit of a limp from a fluke incident 12mo ago (trans coolant line nipple sheared off the rad and dumped my fluid). Otherwise, car has been...
  7. Wheels, Tires, Brakes, & Suspension
    I'm looking for wheel/tire fitment info for a 2008 3.0L ... does it need to have 17" wheels? (I heard the 3L has larger brakes, but that might be in Gen 4 or 5 only). I'm running stock 17x7J alloy wheels w/ 225/55 winters + summers, but have a 2006 2.5i i'll be scrapping for parts that has 2...
  8. Oil, Oil Filters, and Fuel Discussion
    I couldn't find a thread specific to my car / questions, so starting a new one... 2008 3.0L outback with about 140k miles. It's consistently given me around 22 mpg. My 2005 2.5i is in the 28–29 mpg range consistently. Is the H6 really THAT much less efficient, on average? This is 90%+ country...
  9. Engine & Drivetrain
    I recently acquired my second 2001 Outback H6 LL Bean, the first's rear suspension chassis succumbing to Wisconsin rust. #2 has 170k miles, though only 75k on engine, 5k on head gaskets and plugs (all claimed). Normal 25+/-mpg, great smooth feel and power in any normal rpm range, but for one...
  10. Forum Rules, New Member Information & Intro.
    My 4th Subaru, 3rd Outback. First “off-road build”. Looking for any cool recommendations y’all have. Definitely in search of some aftermarket ez30 headers but seem to be impossible to source
  11. Problems & DIY Maintenance
    Hey everyone, new around here and relatively new to maintaining a Subaru (properly), let alone cars. Not sure what even to look up, as I've been scouring the internet since this happened. I may not be using the correct terms, my bad. I had an 08 2.5i Legacy before this and the H6 is a different...
  12. Gen 3: 2005-2009
    Hi all Do you know what's this buzzing sound coming from the engine when I put the ignition in the ON position? Is this normal?
  13. Gen 2: 2000-2004
    Hi there fam, I've got an '02 H6 with a threatening-to-die transmission (EZ30 eng? E-4AT tran). I've also got a friend with an '02 Impreza transmission that's in good shape. I have no idea if they're swappable. 😅
  14. Head Gasket Issues
    Do you think it would be possible to do the head gaskets on this engine without removing the oil pump or rear timing cover? I am in a bit of a situation, I had this job done by my mechanic a year ago and a year later I am having issues. I took it to a different mechanic and when they pulled...
  15. General Discussions
    Hey guys! I have a 2003 Subaru Outback LLBean edition. Today when I was changing my o2 sensor on the driver's side I noticed what looked like to be an oil leak. I'm not even sure what you would call the part where the oil was dripping out of but I thought you guys can help and give me some...

    2004 Subaru outback H6 3.0. Link to screenshots of data my ebay managed to get: imgur.com/a/NllMlpi All running states labeled, managed to get some data while the car was running well for comparison My partner called me about 15min from home saying the car had started shaking at idle, I...
  17. Extended Warranties - Questions & Price Shopping
    Hi all! I bought an '01 H6 Outback three months ago with 146K on it, rebuilt by the shop selling it. Right after I got it, I left it idling for 10-20 minutes and it started to overheat. It was weird, but since it was low on water I figured they didn't put enough water in it when I got it. Fast...
  18. Outback Shopping
    First Post Warning: Due to a motocross injury and this wheelchair life I've been searching and researching for the last few months for an Outback. I definitely want a 3.6R and I'm not crazy about the CVT in the 2015+ as well as all the additional tech and beeps. I was initially thinking an...
