| Description of the problem | Since the vehicle was purchased i had to add at least one quart of oil to the engine between each recommended oil change. I informed the dealer who had me return approx 1300 miles after my last oil change, which i did. The dealer indicated to me that the oil level was fine. By 3,700 miles the oil warning light came on and i had to add a quart of oil. The subaru has approx 24,550 miles. I have never owned a vehicle where i had to add oil prior to scheduled oil change. |
