Subaru Warranty extension: High Oil Consumption
My wife has a '13 Crosstrek, it takes 0W20 synthetic and has a 10,000 km OCI. Didn't notice oil consumption when we ran 5W-30 Castrol EDGE in it in the summer, but the low oil light came on after 5 or 6,000 km Pennzoil Ultra 0W-20. Dealer salesman says they consume the spec stuff (0W-20) and to put in 5W-30 instead.
I'm curious about this test. It's likely a dealer oil change with a seal on the oil filler cap and dip stick tube, since it has an electronic oil level sensor. Does anyone know what the Subaru dealer test procedure is?
