You'll be getting a new short block, which *should* resolve the issue with no out of pocket expense. If you incur any expenses, join the class action suit. Some FB20 and FB25 engines had issues of being bored incorrectly, allowing oil to reach combustion chambers. The new short block will help, but some owners reported that they still burned some oil, which is normal in combustion engines. Subaru's acceptable burn rate is less than 1 qt. per 1200 miles (per owners manual). My old EJ25 burned about a qt every 3500 miles in cold conditions (Eugene, OR)
