1-3-2-4 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Looking at getting another Subaru however with the current issue with the oil consumption of the 2013 and '14 I'm not sure if I should go for the '13 model? How bad is it really? I'm not too sure the Subaru is that good on the type of oil weight for that motor configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbhrps Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 1-2-3-4, After some searching online the 2014 Outback isn't listed as having the oil ring problem. I know my 2012 doesn't either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Does that year still have the EJ engine or did they all switch to the F series by then? It seems to me the F engines are the ones having the most oil consumption trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrickjd9 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Been following the oil consumption issue since I'm considering buying another Subaru, probably a 2011 or newer Legacy. Seem to hear much more about the problem in FB-engined Foresters than Outbacks or Legacies. Compare posts on subaruforester.org vs. subaruoutback.org.
