3. 6 engine uses 1/2 quart oil after 3000 mile oil change. Car has alway had 5w30 mobile 1 oil used in it since we had the car. Had some minor oil consumption at first but now it is becoming more common. Dealership said it cause the oil manufactures are making the oil thinner so that is causing the problem? sorry I was no not born yesterday. 2 reasons for oil consumption that I know is a oil leak or defective piston rings which Subaru has had issues with on other model cars.
