Hi all, Looking at two manual SH foresters which have similar kms, both in decent condition, and are similarly priced. The big difference is that one has the FB25 and the other has the EJ25. Which would you be taking and why? Which is more reliable and will last longer? Is either better...

My girlfriend had bought a 2012 Subaru Forester with the FB25BA engine at the end of 2018 without knowing the oil consumption issue. In March of 2019, she was driving on the highway and the engine had completely seized on her in the middle of nowhere due to low oil. We didn't know anything about...
