I just bought a 2014 normally aspirated Forester with a 2.5. Is this engine hard on oil as well? I'm not finding much info on it.

Hello thread hijacker.
No, the n/a Subaru's are generally easy on oil unless your user name is ARCOGraphite. Lots of info at subaruforester.org. The oil burning problems that you may read there should have been corrected by the 2014 MY. Pick any 0W-20 and don't worry, be happy.
