I purchased a second hand…
I purchased a second hand 2005 Forester four years ago, and took it to the local dealer for it
first oil change. They told me that I had a very bad oil leak and to leave with them. Cost to
fix it? $2500.. Of course I did not do this, but took the car home and placed a cardboard under the engine. 30,000 miles later I counted thirteen oil spots on the carboard. This same dealer has also tried this game on a number of older Subaru models. Most did not accept their recommendation. This dealer is still in business. I get my oil changed at Walmart!
