      Ah, gotcha, I didn’t know the “V” or “H” was based on the engine shape. That makes sense. But it’s the 6 cylinder version of the Outback that we bought. I believe they list them as the 3.6R version.

        They’re usually named based on the arrangement of the pistons. V and W engines are pretty clear, H engines are a type of “flat” (or “horizontally-opposed”) engine with two pairs of horizontal pistons.
