| Description of the problem | Brand new car and engine burning oil issue: subaru of georgetown, tx, dealer told me that i did not have to change the oil until i reached 7500 miles on my brand new 2014 subaru outback. At 4900 miles, oil pressure and low oil lights came on briefly, then turned off 30 miles later. I didn't check the level since the lights turned off. Then 50 miles later, both turned on again. I checked the dipstick, and there was approx. 1mm of oil registering on the bottom of the dipstick. The subaru of baton rouge, la dealer told me this was normal and changed the oil at 5400 miles. |
