ben64 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Hello guys I totally felt in love of the Legacy 3.0R with EZ30 engine. But after many trouble with the VW 2.0L TDI engine with made in china oil pump failures http://www.subyclub.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dash2.gifhttp://www.subyclub.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dash2.gifhttp://www.subyclub.com/public/style_emoticons/default/dash2.gif I want to know all of it is possible on the EZ30 weakness ( even if there are not very important ) http://www.subyclub.com/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png What are the best mileages for this engine and its gearbox / transmission ? Thanks by advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapnJack Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 From the research I did before I bought my 3.0, it sounds like this was one of the better engines ever made and was pretty bullet proof. The trans is the 5eat, similar to the GT. I see no reason either of them shouldn't go several hundred thousand miles with proper maintenance.

Merc6 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 If I knew how my 2.5 GT was, I would have just gotten the 3.0 instead. That boxer rumble made me do it and I been paying for it since. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

08 LGT Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Yep, everything I've ever read makes it sound like the H6 is a super reliable engine with none of the head gasket issues that plagued the 4 cylinder mills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougall42 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 My 05 Outback just turned over 406,000kms. Apart from a bit of timing chain rattle it has no issues. I run Castrol 5W30 in the winter and 10W40 during the summer. Same as I use on my 05 LGT, which coincidentally is approaching 400,000kms too on the original motor. Just lucky i guess.
