Description of the problem	I purchased my 2012 subaru impreza sport premium on 12/24/2011. It had less than 100 miles when purchased from the dealer. At 1200 miles, the oil light came on. I checked the oil level and it was very low. I called broadway subaru in oakland,ca about the problem. I explained, how can a brand new car have low oil? They said this is common and to add oil. Added oil and the light went off. Today, the light appeared again at 5560 miles. Oil again is low but within normal levels. I called broadway subaru and told them the problem. Again, the guy explained this is normal for all cars to burn oil, whether it's an american car, japanese, or anything else. Is he serious? I hondas for close to 20 years and never ever did an oil light come on, let alone on a new engine which is not due for its first oil change until 7500 miles. I made an appt for 8/24/2012.
