Is is possible for a 2000 Forester to have come with a DOHC engine?


Recommended Posts

The carfax for VIN JF1SF635XYH731667 shows a DOHC. Is Carfax wrong?

 

"2.5L H4 PFI DOHC 16V"

Thanx

 

While I am unfamiliar with Forester engine changeovers, many VIN decoders seem confused by Subaru VINs. My insurance company keeps listing my wife's OBW as LL Bean and it is not.

 

I dunno

JF1 - Passenger Vehicle

S - Subaru Brand Line

F - Wagon

6 - 2500cc AWD

3 - L trim

5 - Passenger vehicle with manual seat belts and SRS

X - check digit to insure vin is valid

Y - year.....this shows 2000

H - fulltime AWD 4EAT automatic

731667 - build sequence number (serial number)

 

 

Good way to tell, look under the hood. 1998 was the ONLY US year the Forester came with a DOHC.
