I own a 2012 Forester in Australia, had the same problem with excessive oil consumption right from the beginning, have been having oil consumption tests for the past 12 months, continuously put off by the Subaru Dealer (where I had all the services) saying that this was within their acceptable range of oil usage. This week I had had enough when the oil was topped up by Subaru I went away on a holiday for a week, and the oil went off the dip stick after only 2,400 kms. Went in gave them the keys said I did not want it back until it was fixed. After a bit of toing & froing between the dealer & Subaru, they finally approved replacement of the engine rings under warranty (I still have 6 months warranty) I get the car back today, hopefully this fixes the problem, concerns me though that the whole engine has been pulled apart and put back together.
