| Description of the problem | My 2013 subaru outback premium 2. 5 has a caution light in the instrument panel that illuminates as a reminder for the operator to check the engine oil. The owners manual states the light indicates low engine oil levels and recommends adding oil to prevent engine damage. I add a minimum 1 quart of oil, on a recurring cycle, to return the oil level to the full mark on the oil dipstick. My subaru outback requires adding approx. 1 quart of oil every 1800 miles between oil changes. |
