The 2013 Subaru Forester featured a standard 2.5 L 4-cylinder EJ255 DOHC engine in all trims. There was also an optional engine available for this model. It will come equipped with a timing belt system that should be replaced every 70,000 to 100,000 miles. Subaru has a reputation for producing high-quality vehicles, so it's probable that you may only need to replace the timing belt once throughout the lifetime of your car. A complete replacement kit typically costs between $100 and $200, and this package will include a new water pump that should also be changed during the same maintenance interval.
