no, its a belt, check your owners manual for the mileage interval it will need to be changed at
The 2013 Subaru Outback has a FB25 engine, which uses a timing chain.
It has a timing belt that must be replaced every 105,000 miles.
The 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine in a 2000 Subaru Outback is an interference engine ( according to Gates , they make timing belts etc. )
I just got a quote from my subaru dealer for a 2002 outback wagon with the 2.5 engine, and it's $1750. Check to make sure you aren't covered under the recall. If you aren't......I had head gasket, timing belt, and drive belts all replaced for about $1100.00 on my 02 outback wagon. At the dealership.
In front of the Engine, under the Belt Covers.....
Subaru uses a belt.
Subaru does use a timing belt. Please ask a question that can be answered.
No, it has 2 timing chains.....
your h6 has a timing chain
The Subaru 2.5 L engine is a non-interference engine. If you change the timing belt when it should be changed you don't need to worry either way.
Generally it is recommended replacing the timing belt and water pump on a 4 cylinder Subaru engine at 10 years or 100,000 miles, which ever comes first.
By drive belt; I assume you mean a timing belt. On a 3.0 H-6, there is a timing chain in place of the belt (Very durable). It is housed behind cast aluminum timing chain covers on the front of the engine. On an engine with a timing belt, I would do the change myself; but I recommend that a timing chain be replaced by a Subaru dealer simply for the fact that the tension, alignment, and timing can be hard to set yourself with a chain.
