oil consumption

[Dan B.]

My 2.5L Outback has 221k miles on it and doesn't gobble oil. I drive it maybe 250-300 miles a week and it may take half a quart a month......maybe. It has the head gaskets done twice.

Is the oil issue a WRX thing?

I thought you were driving that little ranger you picked up a while back???


The oil consumption is definitely not a wrx only thing. Coworkers forester ate it up too.

I was DD'ing it then bought the wife a 2010 Outback. The 2000 Outback became mine. The light blue 1990 Ranger now sets next to the 1985 387W Ranger in the garage. I still drive it a bunch when the weather is fair or I need a little truck to get something. It's just in such damn fine shape that I can't stand to drive it in the salt and slop.
