Keep an eye on it. As
Keep an eye on it. As mentioned a few weeks ago, I also had the short block swap on my '11 Forester and after driving roughly 450 miles I checked the oil and was 2/3 qt low! I took it back to the dealer and they checked it and said it was 1/3 qt low. I said well yeah I just drove it a half hr to get here so it's nice and hot now (we all know liquid expands when heated, right?) Get this, the service tech said, "you're supposed to check it when hot". BS. Oil check should be done cold or at least cool and auto trans when warmed up. Regardless, it's still using oil. I was told to keep driving until I get to that magic 1200 mile mark and bring it in again. They told me this is the first time that they've seen one of the new blocks do this. I'll be taking it in on Monday since I'm at check time now. I had a few long trips in the past two weeks and will be checking it myself this morning to see where it's at. Will post results and Subaru follow-up after the visit.
