JDM Subaru EZ30R 3.0 H6 Engine, Approx. 60K Miles

Subaru’s six-cylinder models are prized for their smooth, quiet power, especially the Outback L.L.Bean Edition and the B9 Tribeca. When that engine fails, though, finding a healthy replacement can be tough. This JDM Subaru 3.0 H6 engine solves that problem. It’s the EZ30R flat-six with approximately 60,000 miles, and it’s on sale now. As a result, you can restore your six-cylinder Subaru for far less than a new engine.

Why Owners Love the H6

The EZ30R is a 3.0L horizontally opposed six-cylinder, so it runs exceptionally smoothly with almost no vibration. In addition, it uses a timing chain instead of a belt, which removes a costly maintenance item. Moreover, the H6 delivers strong, linear power that suits relaxed highway cruising. Consequently, it gives the Outback and Tribeca a refined, upscale feel that four-cylinder models can’t match.

JDM and US engines can differ in some sensors and accessories, so installers usually transfer a few parts from your original engine. Send us your VIN, and we’ll confirm what you need. For background, see the Subaru EZ engine overview.

We compression test all six cylinders and record a video of the test. Also, the photos on this page show this exact engine and its serial number. That way, you know exactly what you’re getting.
