HaHa! This is the exact reason I bought my 2015 WRX also! My 2010 Wagon, and 2013 Wagon both had to have an intirely new long block out in because of this. They fail to mention that the contaminated oil is not the only reason the EJ257 is garbage. The oil pan is not designed correctly, and the oil pump does not push out enough oil even close to the factory redline which starves the motor for oil and destroys the ring lands. The problem with the oil pan, is it’s lack of baffles to hold oil in place by the oil pump causes all the oil to move to one side or the other in the oil pan under hard cornering, causing the oil pump to only suck in air, and not providing oil to critical engine parts. I’m am sure these reasons will come out soon as well.
