I know. It’s maddening. I was at 6400 of the manufacturer recommended 7500 mile interval and had poured 1.5 quarts in. 550 miles down the interstate at 80 mph was just too much for the piece of shit. By my calculations it ran through 6 total quarts in 6400 miles. That’s a gallon and a half!
From what I am seeing Subaru was telling people that 1 quart disappearing per 1200 miles was normal consumption???!! That’s 6.25 quarts per oil change, but I believe you only put 5 quarts in. If you do the math you will run out of oil.
Btw I have all maintenance receipts down to new windshield wipers and all maintenance was always done per Subaru specs.
