Purchased a 2013 Outback with
Purchased a 2013 Outback with 100 miles on it in March of 2013. I have consistently had to add a quart of oil every 1500-2000 miles from the very start. they insist this is normal! I have had every scheduled service performed on time. This last time it was 2000 miles before the oil light came on, but that's because they over-filled it when they performed the oil consumption test and "flashed" the memory last visit to the dealer. I am disgusted with Subaru. The dealer is in cahoots with Subaru, they have performed 2 oil consumption tests 1200 miles apart and they say there is no oil loss, yet the light comes on consistently at 1500 miles and is almost a quart low each time. This has gone on for two years and they insist nothing is unusual about this. I was going to give this car to my son when he turns 16, but no way will I do that as he will have to be too vigilant about making sure the oil is topped off. I traded my 2009 Forester for this car and now I wished I never would have. This is my fourth Subaru and I never had problems before now. I am getting ready to trade this in, but I have serious concerns about trade in value because of these issues.
There is a class action lawsuit being brought against Subaru over this issue. If you Google that you will find the link to a law office where you can leave your information to be added to the suit.
