Owner of a 2014 Subaru 2.5i
Owner of a 2014 Subaru 2.5i Base model with a CVT, So far with 32,000 miles and New Mexico driving no oil consumption to report. I'm a slow driver, don't race, don't go offroading or softroading, and don't do snowplowing with it. I did oil changes at 6,000 mile intervals NOT the 7500. I did so because I thought SOA lowered the oil change interval on the 2015, logic told me since my 2014 has the same engine, it made sense to follow that lower interval. I Purchased the vehicle December 2013 so its been almost 3 years. So far the car has been bulletproof, averaging 26mpg overall as well. Even though I've enjoyed the car immensely with no problems, this will be my last Subaru. Why is it my last? Because I find myself driving tenderly, and walking on eggshells so as to not damage the engine ( which is amazingly unreasonable). I'm honestly considering selling it now before it gets thirsty.
