Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the EJ204 engine assembly is 140 kg. The EJ204 engine number is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. Subaru owners face the main problem of very high oil consumption, where not only does the lubrication burn out, but it also leaks from all gaskets and seals. If you overlook a significant drop in oil level, it can even cause damage to the bearings. The reason for the fluctuating engine speed is usually due to malfunctions in the operation of the electronic throttle. The cooling system is not known for its reliability and often leads to engine block damage due to overheating.
