As mentioned, I was due to return the car for inspection last Monday. It was a little over 1,000 miles since the test on engine #2 and it failed, being a qt. low. They told me that this was the first time they've seen a new block fail and they were going to contact corporate to see how to handle that. BTW, someone on this forum recently suggested that perhaps aggressive driving may be a contributor. Rest assumed I don't drive that way. It's Forester not a WRX! Though if it was, yer darn right I'd drive it aggressively! (;>)
It's now been 5 days since the dealer visit and I've not heard back yet. They did top off the lube (can't really call it oil since it's 100% synthetic) and I'll wait another week before checking back with them if I don't get a call in the meantime. I also saw a few posts here regarding overfilling and though they've not done that with mine, sadly not all dealers are the same.
