Seems my experience mirrors
Seems my experience mirrors your comment. I had a 2010 2.5 Outback which never burned any oil. Unfortunately, it was totaled in 2919. I then purchased a 2919 2.5 Outback which started burning oil at 53,000 miles. Competition Suburu performed an oil consumption test which showed that 9.8 ounces were being consumed after 1200 miles which in in excess of one and one half quarts during the recommended period for oil changes. They simply stated in the test result that this was within the normal range for my car. Not a happy camper!
