Jeri, on the one hand, there
Jeri, on the one hand, there's the corporate line about oil consumption, on the other hand, there's the lawyer angle, and on the gripping hand, there's reality. If you'd bother to do a little research, every American and Japanese car company has at one point or another in recent history had lawsuits filed about 'excess oil consumption' - so this is nothing unique to Subaru. If you're going to use Google - then change the first word from Subaru to Toyota or Honda or Nissan or GM or Chrysler or Ford. Read this: " Ford Motor Company considers consumption as high as one quart of oil per 1,000 miles to
be acceptable in a gasoline engine." How about you simply do what you're supposed to do, which is check your OWN oil level every couple of gas fill-ups, and if it's low, add some oil?
