EZ 3.6 Changes

The EZ 3.6 engine for the 2015 Legacy and Outback is based on same proven platform used in
previous model years producing 256 horsepower and 247 lb-ft peak torque. The EZ 3.6 has been
adapted to function with the Generation 1 High-torque CVT (TR69) while maintaining the same
environmental performance and fuel consumption of the original EZ 3.6 engine. Internally, the
connecting rods have been manufactured with new materials and greater precision and a lower
opening temperature (from 82C to 78C) thermostat has been installed.
