The oil consumption issue is
The oil consumption issue is not limited to just those model years. I have a 2015 Subaru legacy and have had two oil consumption tests, the dealer has told me it's within spec of course. I have been told to both add oil when it's low and do not add oil unless it's a quart low. The explanation given to me as to not add oil was something to do with molecular weight and adding new oil to old oil is not recommended. I have been lied to as well and after the second consumption test oil was added to the vehicle, this way the low oil light would not go on as I approach 5000 miles. The service manager continues to tell me "all"
new vehicles" have this oil consumption issue.
I cannot believe that a major auto manufacturer cannot get this resolved. There is no doubt a high level of incompetence up top here,and they are quite comfortable taking advantage of hard working consumers. Not for this issue I think the vehicle is good.
