The 2.5 litre four cylinder engine in a 2000 Subaru Forester has a timing BELT
In a 2000 Subaru Forester, the security reset button is typically located under the dashboard, near the driver's side, often close to the steering column. It may be labeled or identifiable by a small, red button. If you're having trouble locating it, consulting the vehicle's owner's manual can provide specific guidance.
Subaru does not use a separate overdrive unit, if that is what you are asking. For many years, overdrive is simply another gear in the transmission.
On my 2000 Forester, the dashboard illumination dimmer control is on the turn signal stalk. --Ken
it is above the radio below the temp controls
With the proper scan tool.
If somebody knocks on the front door of the Subaru, the KNOCK sensor, sets off the KNOCK Alarm....LOL
Yes, it is definitely good to use transmission fluid in your Forester. I highly recommend it and use it in my 2000 with no problems.
Yes they do offer this, at least they did on my 2000. Check your owner's manual.
Try 87 Octane, if it does not "ping" excessively you should be OK
its on the rear side window left hand side, imprinted in the glass
There should be a fuse and relay legend in the drivers manual.
