Currently running the first "oil consumption" test from my dealer. I've had three oil changes since I purchased 2011 Forrester new. Complained each time to dealer about having to add as much as 3 1/2 to 4 quarts on a 1000 mile round trip to the beach. They told me it was impossible, and I received a roll of the eyre look. The third time after researching the issue on my own, I asked for this test. According to the dealer Subaru America has changed "normal" consumption rate from 1 quart per 1200 miles to 10 or 12 ounces. I used that much on a 300 mile trip!
The service manager actually asked if I would rather trade it off. I plan on doing just that, but not for a Subaru. Never again!!
