Started my car yesterday afternoon, after it had been sitting at work all day, and the blue light didn't come on. That's when you know it's hot outside!

Couple questions
I just bought a new black 2012 Impreza premium and I have a few questions. First of all, I think I want to get the hood diffuser thing that goes right on the front tip of the hood. I don't know what this is called and where to get it. Also What are my options on roof racks for this? I see that there are the spots to do it but I can't quite find where to get it. Thank you for the response.

Stopped by the dealer this afternoon as the oil on my dipstick has moved to the middle mark. Had an interesting conversation with the tech while I was there. He just returned from a school for the BRZ but he told me that the oil issues with the 2012 Impreza came up as well. He said "THERE MAY" (obviously he can't say "THERE IS") be a design flaw with the low tension rings. He also told me that they told the techs to recommend, to any customer having issues, That they carry extra oil with them. Sounds like Subaru may have the beginnings of a massive stink on their hands. At least they are acknowledging that the issue exists.

Yeah, we talked about running 5w-20 in the future but he said he wouldn't recommend that until the drive train warranty is out at 60k. JIC

Furious, how long did it take to get to the halfway mark on the dipstick?

Anyone think that with the reduced tension that our cars rings will last longer (200k+) because they wont wear as fast?

I would not loose sleep over the oil consumption issues. If it is widespread then SOA will take care of it. I know the thought of it can be daunting, but there is no use worrying about it.

At the rate im going. I'll be at 60k by this time next year. I believe I was one of the first people to experience the low oil light and now they seem to be coming out of the woodwork. This is not something that Subaru is going to be able to ignore and hope it goes away.

I agree, if this is indeed a problem, Subaru will fix it. People need to not freak out and be paranoid. In the past Subaru has made things right with engine issues. The '08 STI was notorious for blowing motors. Subaru took care of it. Subaru is pretty good with covering for warranty work, unless you have crazy mods - which 99% of people won't do with the '12 Impreza.

This really sucks! This will be my second consecutive brand new car with a "potential" major engine problem. I traded in my '09 Civic EX in February to get my Subaru because the 2006 to early 2009 R18 engine blocks in the Civic's could crack and now this....lovely. |
