My girlfriend bought a 2012
My girlfriend bought a 2012 Subaru forester 2.5l engine and experiencing excessive oil usage aswell. I haven't measured it exactly however it almost ran out of oil on the way back from our interstate trip only after 4,000kms following a service. I've spoken to our Subaru service centre several times and they claim this is normal for it to use oil in the first 20,000kms. It's now done 27,000kms and still using oil. Does anyone know how else to approach this with Subaru or should I just consider it 'normal' to be topping up our new car with oil during road trips and In between services. Are Subaru fixing it under this power train warranty? We really don't want to be left with a unreliable car.
