| Description of the problem | This subaru takes synthetic oil, which should last a minimum of 6000 miles between oil changes. Every oil change i have had on this car (i change it every 7500 miles), i have had to add an extra quart of oil by about 3000 miles into an oil change. This has done this from the very beginning of ownership. A brand new car should not burn up oil so quickly. This can has been so many headaches from the moment i purchased it. Electrical failures, passenger airbags not working, gps system failure, brakes not responding as they should... The list goes on. |
