Hi Steve/Susan,
Hi Steve/Susan,
Not sure if you are aware but if you purchased in the US you can contact or look up " Lemonlaw" and they will provide you with information as to what you can do as a Subaru owner with excessive oil consumption. Kimmel & Silverman are the law firm dealing with this. You need to go to a Subaru dealer and start an oil consumption test and keep records of dates,mileage, type of oil etc. Upon going thru one of these consumption tests with all your documents in order you should have a legimate case for Subaru to repair this factory default. A lot of Subarus use more oil than other vehicle brands and Subaru is constantly re writing the acceptable guidelines in their manuals as they know they have a major issues with engine block machining and piston&rings. This should have been a WORLDWIDE RECALL on all models affected as it is not only Foresters but Legacys and Outbacks as well. Currently going thru this issue ourself.
