subaru forester exhaust Q&A Review
Do Subaru Foresters always smell like burning oil after you do an oil change because the exhaust is right next to the drain plug?
That smell means you have got some oil, either old or new, onto a hot surface.D,o, not allow any oil to spash, dribble, or otherwise escape while you are changing it. Neatness is very important.
Is my 2007 Subaru forester old enough to emit enough carbon monoxide for it to fatally kill me if I were to attach a hose to the exhaust and lead it to my window?

Why do people say Subaru are very reliable vehicles when they have various known issues with failing head gaskets?
My wife and I own a 2005 Subaru Forester. We originally bought the car because of various reviews of excellent reliability, notably from Consumer Reports. Unfortunately, our car was not reliable at all, suffering from a variety of expensive failures, including a cracked turbo housing, cracked exhaust manifold, leaking head gaskets, excess oil usage, power steering and steering rack problems, bad front wheel bearings and much more. We eventually had to replace the entire engine. Since 2005, the little car has cost us in excess of $15,000 in repairs! In fact, it’s in the shop again, as I speak! Obviously we will never buy another Subaru again. Yes, Subaru does have known issues with various parts, including head gaskets and excess oil consumption. In fact there was a recall over these things, where Subaru had to replace thousands of defective engines. Unfortunately, Consumer Reports depends on owner surveys to produce their ratings, and those only go a few short years back. A newer car has very little that will fail within the first two years. However the real test is once a car tops the 5 year mark and approaches 100,000 miles. So when selecting a new vehicle, Consumer Reports may not be an accurate indicator of reliability. The best bet is to surf the web for private groups, such as forums, blogs and videos regarding a vehicle’s chronic issues.
Is it better for your engine and checkbook to change regular engine oil every 3k miles, or use synthetic and go 15k miles?
Most Engines today are built much better than in the past. You really don't need an oil change every 3,000 miles unless it's severe use, but this also does not hurt anything cause clean oil is clean oil. I will say going 15,000 miles in between oil changes is just stupid in my opinion(In my opinion so comments will be ignored). Blowby is where most contamination in engine oil comes from. Every engine has blow by and it is exhaust gas and some fuel that make it past the piston rings into the crankcase(the pcv is there to prevent pressure from building in the engine from this). Oil is basically the life blood of an engine. The longer the miles in between oil changes the worse the condition of the oil becomes. Few people check their oil in between oil changes which might not matter with a 3000 mile interval but certainly does with a 15,000 mile interval. A small amount of is normal and not an issue usually but can be with long interval can be. Personally, I use conventional oil and change my oil every 4–5,000 miles and still check it in between changes. My Subaru Forester only has 238,000 miles so seems to be working for me.
What issues did you find your car had after you bought it?
My wife and I bought a 2005 Subaru Forester XT based on numerous accolades in magazines and even from Consumer Reports. What we didn’t know was that this particular model/year/range had a known chronic engine problem, which Subaru refused to accept responsibility for. The 2.5 liter turbocharged four in these vehicles suffers from a well-documented design flaw in the turbocharger oiling system. The result is that the turbo bearing doesn’t receive enough oil, overheats, and then causes the turbo housing to crack and fail. This also causes a cascade of related failures involving everything from engine overheating, leaking cylinder head gaskets, cracked radiators and cracked exhaust manifolds, as well as very high oil usage. Numerous owners have reported this problem to Subaru, yet they’ve chosen to do absolutely nothing about it, especially since these problems don’t start to become serious enough to warrant attention until the car is out of warranty. The engine replacement in our Subaru cost us a whopping $10,000 out of pocket! It’s a flaw which has affected literally thousands of Subaru owners with this engine, and they have absolutely no recourse. It’s for this reason that we will never buy another Subaru product - ever…
Is Subaru really that much better than other cars? Or do they just market better?
My wife and I currently own a 2005 Subaru Forester Turbo. I have disassembled and serviced much of the car, and we’ve had the engine rebuilt once. It currently has around 240,000 miles on it. We’ve also owned numerous cars in our lives, from Cadillac and Buick, to Datsun, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Dodge, Ford, Chevy and several others. I also worked as a mechanic servicing BMW, Mini, Rolls-Royce, VW, Audi and Porsche. The good news is Subarus perform really well during their first few years. Their balanced feel, accurate steering, excellent brakes and great AWD system works as it should. Their ergonomics are pretty good as well, and they just feel fundamentally right, in terms of seating position, wheel and pedal position, visibility and road feel/response. The bad news is after the honeymoon wears off, they break, and they break in really ugly ways. To start with are the now infamous leaking head gasket issues. There are two kinds of Subie owners. Those who have leaking head gaskets and those who will have leaking head gaskets. And replacing those is a huge PITA, because with the opposed-flat layout, the entire motor must come out of the car, depending on application. Normally aspirated Subies with a closed deck cylinder block are much better and can last a long time. The open deck Subies, especially those with a turbocharger are problematic. Then there’s the excess oil usage issue. The cracking turbo housing issue. The bad turbo bearing issue. The power steering cavitation issues. The cracked radiator tank issues. The cracked exhaust manifold problems. Plastic sunroof parts that fail and leave you with a $2000 sunroof replacement bill. The oil cooler hose and O-ring failures that drip hot oil on your exhaust manifold and cause under-hood smoke. The A/C clutch wear and shimming issue. The steering rack wear and failure problem. Wheel bearing failures. Even their coolant thermostat is placed at the bottom of the engine, instead of at the top, making it more difficult to service. If you drive your non-turbo Subaru for several years and trade it in on a new one, you’re all good. They can be a true pleasure to own and drive, especially in freezing, icy conditions. However if you like to keep and maintain a car for 6, 10 or 15 years, they can easily become a money pit. So, at least in our experience, Subaru is definitely not “better” than other cars. In fact, in many ways, they can be worse! What they are very good at is marketing. Their ad campaigns strike at the human heart. Where Ford tries to wow you with high-tech features like Ecoboost and aluminum bodies, or Chevy tries to convince you that a Chevy has more appeal than the competition, and Dodge is marketing performance and Hemi engines, Subaru is selling kids, dogs, families, safety, the environment and high-school graduations. It’s not a track shoe, or combat boot, or fancy pair of wingtips. It’s a comfortable pair of loafers, and that’s the image they drive home so incredibly well.
Subaru Forester or Outback? Which is better?
Subaru really only sells 2 AWD cars in the US: the Impreza and the Legacy. The Forester, WRX/STi, and Crosstrek are built on the Impreza chassis, and the Outback and Baja (now discontinued) are built on the Legacy chassis. Confusingly, the Outback Sport was basically a 5 door Impreza. Impreza-based cars are built in Japan, and Legacy-based cars are built in Lafayette, Indiana. As to which one is better, it's kind of a matter of personal preference. They all share more or less the same drivetrain and symmetrical AWD system. Turbocharged engines are available on both (Outback XT and Forester XT). If you want a 6-cylinder, you're going to have to go with an Outback, as it wasn't offered in the Forester. In addition to more displacement, the 6-cylinder EZ engines also have the advantage of never having suffered from head gasket issues like the 4-cylinder EJ engines. I personally prefer the earlier Foresters for their boxier, more truck-like design, and the easy swapability with WRX and STi parts (I had WRX front brakes and rear sway bar, and an STi steering rack and exhaust in my '99 Forester L). So I guess my answer to your question is: which ever you like better. They're all good cars.
What are the common problems to look for when buying a 2001 Subaru Forester S with 116k miles?
If the car is from somewhere they salt the roads in winter, check for incipient rust along the edges of the fenders. Also look for rust on the exhaust system, especially around the catalytic converter. That can be an expensive replacement. And finally, a small thing but a common failing on many Subarus of this vintage: check for rust/corrosion in the rear liftgate handle mechanism. Another thing that's good to check on higher-mileage Subarus is the rubber boots over the CV/DO joints. There are four axles and eight of those joints total, and if one of the rubber boots has torn there may be an axle/joint replacement in the car's future.
What was the craziest thing a mechanic said about your car?
The question: Craziness: What is something crazy that a mechanic has told you about your car? That I needed a new head gasket. A month ago I took my Subaru Forester in to the dealer for some recall work, and to get scheduled maintenance. I don’t normally take it in to the dealership - I know they’re overpriced - but I had to do so for the recall stuff. Afterwards, the associate gave me a list of things they had found “in no particular order”. Off the top of my head, this included that the exhaust heat shield was rusted, that the sway bar link was cracked… oh, and I needed a new head gasket because they found oil on the spark plugs. What immediately set the associate off balance was that I parroted his list back at him, but explicitly put them in order of priority, recognizing that the heat shield (and a couple other minor issues) were strictly cosmetic in nature, that the sway bar link was typical for a vehicle that had seen as much service as mine and was no cause for alarm, but that the head gasket ,could, be a major issue… except I was skeptical. I’d had the engine replaced not eight months prior, and while it was a used engine, I trust the folks who replaced it to not put one in with a leaking head gasket (as that would come back on them anyway). I asked for a quote on fixing the head gasket, observed that it was not significantly cheaper than a factory refurbished engine, and reclaimed the car to take for a second opinion. The second opinion was that the dealership had seen a bit of oil from an unknown source and seized upon the most expensive possible (well, not even possible) option. The symptom described would actually mean a leaking ,valve cover gasket ,(under $1000 to replace, not the several thousand for a head gasket) and they couldn’t even find evidence ,that, was necessary. I’m relatively confident that the dealership didn’t explicitly ,lie, but that they went with the most expensive possibilities they could imagine, and assumed I would simply wave my hand (and my credit card) and hope it would all go away.
What are the pros and cons of a subaru forester?
Power door locks will break over and over - so far I’ve replaced them 5 times in different doors, over four years of ownership. At a cost of $250 (parts and labor) each time, it adds up. There is also a design defect around the right - front axle - the exhaust pipe is routed too close to the CV joint boot and causes it to fail due to heat damage every 60,000 miles or so. I’m on my third right-front axle so far. That costs under $300 if you don’t get a factory axle. Finally, I noticed that the 2.5L motor has started to burn oil, more than a quart every 6,500 miles. I have a 2014 Forester with a CVT and my total mileage so far is 113,000 mi. Otherwise its a great car - I love it! Excellent gas mileage (30+ highway, 20+ city) and goes anywhere - ice, mud, snow, sand….. Definitely not fast, but then that’s not why you buy a Subaru. It looks awesome splattered with mud, including mud on the roof!
