2015 2.5L Oil Consumption

[denokarter]

Hi

 

My 2015 Subaru Legacy 2.5L is consuming about 1qt of oil every 1000km ( not miles). It has about 140 000km,I did every service on time.

 

How about you guys ?

 

for some reason my car does not qualify for the oil consumption warranty test

From the link you provided:

Yeah it just doesn’t make sense to me why the 2015-2020 models wouldn’t qualify

Supposedly it's just those particular years that have "defective piston rings" which cause increased consumption.

 

I bought my '09 legacy with 3 miles, and it has always consumed oil, especially once the oil thins out a little and has more than 4000km on it, or with highway driving, or with hot weather. What oil do you use? I'd step up to something thicker.

 

I've come to the conclusion that subaru literally gives zero F's about owners once their cars get a little older, or have more miles on them. They're too busy catering to, and sending free crap to new owners .

 

My frustration stems from a botched rear main seal replacement by a dealer, and SOA doesn't give a crap, fixated on how many miles my car has on it, as if that makes any difference. I know you're in Canada and subaru of canada might be different though.

That is indeed unusually high oil consumption. Easy things first. Have you tried replacing the PCV valve? Have you checked for leaks?
