We have the same issue with our 2014 Outback 2.5l. We bought it new, 3 miles on the odometer and followed the break in procedure in the manual. Our Outback has been bringing oil at about a quest every 1000 miles, so we have been taking it to the Subaru service center for top off and eventually per our request and oil consumption test,
All we get from the dealer (Diablo Subaru in Walnut Creek, Ca) is the run around that Subaru considers it normal and the oil consumption test results were inconclusive. We are now in the middle of a finger pointing contest between Subaru of America who agrees there is an issue with our Outback and the local service department who lies about what SOA is telling him. The service department demanded the consumption test be run again, we checked the oil before leaving the dealership and it had been overfilled by them by 1/4 to 1/3 qts of oil. Now add deception to the lies and disregard by the dealer.
All of this is clearly documented with SOA but they will still take no action to get this resolved and even if they do take the next step of replacing rings or block, we still have the issue of dealing with this incompetent service department and a devalued and rebuilt 'new' car.
Buying a Subaru has been by far the worst manufacture/service experience I have ever encountered, and I have purchased more than 30 vehicles from various manufactures in my driving years. Never again.
