NP. Has anyone had oil consumption issues with their newer Subarus?

My 2011 Forrester was so bad I carried couple of quarts of oil in the car and was constantly checking oil levels. The dealership eventually replaced that engine.

Traded that vehicle for an Outback a couple of years later. Outback also burned oil, but not as bad as the Forrester. I had that vehicle for 10 years. Slow oil burn eventually ruined the catalytic converter. I had a vehicle warranty plan and plan covered the repair, but still.

Car was comfortable, reliable, excellent in snowy conditions. Loved that Outback. Unfortunately it was totaled in a crash. Currently gearing up to replace the Outback. And yes, we pay cash and keep our vehicles indefinitely.

Nothing wrong or troublesome about the CVT transmission of Subaru Foresters. May have had some issues a decade ago, but not on the more recent models.

I bought a Forester with cash. It’s fine, but I’m not really a car person. My biggest complaints is it’s loud on the highway and the alert sounds are annoying.
