Every Subaru except the BRZ is symmetrical all-wheel drive with a boxer engine, which means four CV axles, two differentials, and spark plugs that sit inches from the frame rails. Parts differ between the older EJ engines (timing belt) and the newer FB and FA engines (timing chain), so the engine code matters as much as the model.
What’s different about Subaru batteries and electrical parts
- Nearly every Subaru uses Group 35, and the factory battery is on the small side — many 2015-and-newer Outback and Forester owners step up to a higher-CCA Group 35 after a weak battery.
- Models with auto start-stop (Forester 2019+, Outback 2020+, Ascent) need an EFB or AGM battery; the Crosstrek Hybrid has its own 12-volt battery separate from the hybrid pack.
- Alternators differ between the older EJ25, the FB20/FB25, and the turbo FA engines; the 3.6 six-cylinder in older Outback and Legacy uses its own unit.
