[quote=Anonymous]I was just on the verge of buying a new Forester--picked out the options & trim & all. Then heard that Subaru's in general have had a problem with oil consumption. That Subaru says that adding a quart every 1200 miles is "normal," which to me sounds ridiculous. I currently drive a Toyota, and I never even bother to look at the dipstick between oil changes--it doesn't lose a drop, ever. Consumer Reports says that this is an issue not only with Subaru but with a lot of new cars, due to their use of low-viscosity oil. Am I out of line worrying about this? I miss the 1970s, but not that much, when you had to check the oil every time you got a few bucks worth of gas. Some new cars don't even have a dipstick, but rather a "low oil" light. Yuck!! [/quote]
