It sounds like, from the testing you've done, that your car could qualify after an additional test. Most manufacturers wouldn't care after 100,000 miles, but it should at least say something that Subaru would still repair your Impreza 40,000 miles over the Powertrain Warranty.Reverendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06237953791786668638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4600009125585905771.post-81500397579781148412016-06-15T22:24:41.732-05:002016-06-15T22:24:41.732-05:00Dave Addison: just blogged this today - http://sub...Dave Addison: just blogged this today - http://subaruoilcomsumption.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Sorry Reverend! It doesn't fall into Subaru's parameters because they would have to fix too many of our vehicles so the parameters get lowered to a standard that isn't realistic.SubaruBloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893647937524020852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4600009125585905771.post-53001821240700151352016-02-15T17:33:06.070-06:002016-02-15T17:33:06.070-06:00If it's consuming oil that quickly at a consis...If it's consuming oil that quickly at a consistent rate, it's probably just an unfortunate situation that it doesn't fall "exactly" within Subaru's parameters to identify this problem. For a company that was selling around 300,000 vehicles per year in the time that this defect would've covered, we'd see much more backlash from owners if it were significantly higher than 10%.

They say an engine is defective if it burns a quart in 1000 miles. My daughter has a Forester that burns a quart every 1300 miles. That's 2 quarts added between oil changes at 3000 miles. And someone recommended a 5000 mile interval? That would be nearly 4 quarts between changes. To me, hers is a defective engine and I suspect there are many others out there like it. So I conclude that the problem is much greater than 10 percent. Please correct me if I am wrong.Dave Addisonnoreply@blogger.com
