Description of the problem	My engine burns through oil rapidly every 800 to 1300 miles i need an oil change. This issue is exasperated when the weather is warm. I once burned through a while quart of oil after 600 miles when traveling. Subaru defines an engine issue if it is under 2000 miles. But they will not fix the issue. They told me that my engine failed the test and that they had ordered parts. When i called back to see when parts would be in because i had gone in twice in the span of 2 months for oil top offs they told me that i was no longer getting the parts and that we had to redo the test. We redo the test and my oil light comes on at 800 miles, and they told my my issue was a sensor and that the history of my vehicle was invalid. I am now afraid that my engine is going to blow up.
