No leaks or spots on our driveway.
Shortly after the first oil change by the dealer a low oil light came on. It was a quart low and I added synthetic oil as specified. My wife reported that to Subaru by phone only. I checked the oil often after that.
Now with the second qt burnt on the second oil change I was alarmed. She took it to Subaru and they put in a qt free. I was surprised to see the receipt when my wife got home. No mention of anything unusual. My wife is more trusting of sales people on these things and it is her car. Now I'm doing all the talking and documenting with Subaru. We're getting the Oil consumption test done this week.
