I have about 62k mi on the odo. I change at every 5k mi and I check my oil after every fill up or every other fill up. I do add or top off when needed.

2qts in 1.5k miles seems like ALOT. and its mysterious... Driving hard lately? But also, Rotella T6 is a 4qt jug. Not the standard 5qt... That could be the reason why?

The only time i drove hard was about 400mi ago and it was thru the mountains on a full moon but other then that its just normal commuting. I always buy 2-3 Jugs of Rotella T6 and I'm aware its a 4qt jug. I wish that was the reason why outback

Are you getting blow by? Check your Coolant Res/radiator and see if there is any oil in it... Worse comes too worse... You may have a headgasket issue, but highly doubtful. |

Steve2.5i, if you search around you'll see that's really common, don't worry about it.

I won't be doing any suspension or engine mods to this car, I just want a nice comfortable car for everyday driving. Maybe some little things like mudflaps, rain guards, HIDs. The car actually has koni yellows w/ teins and a borla cat back which I'll be looking to swap out for stock parts if anyone is interested. |

$9800 before taxes/fees... I'd been looking at the previous generation (06-07 specifically) for around $7-8k, and this came along and I figured it wasn't much more for a pretty serious upgrade.
The only catch is the head gaskets were replaced by the dealer after they got it in from a trade-in... It put me off at first, but the engine didn't blow and they were replaced due to a minor leak so I figure it works out better for me as I don't have to worry about anything happening to them for a while. |

Also, that year/mileage means it was driven fairly heavily, at least 20k miles per year. I would be wary and have it inspected before you buy. |

I park in the same spot at work and home far and isolated lol. No visible oil on the floor at either places. I did not change the crush washer this time but even when I did the last oil change at around 1300-1400 mi I normally have to fill it up.

Yeah I've searched around but its just so unsettling lol for a while I told myself that its the nature of this engine. This time the oil is just a lot lower then what I normally see, so it kinda put the paranoia back into my thoughts.
