I've got a 2000 Forester that is using 3 quarts of oil every 2,000 miles give or take. It is not leaking because I would notice any spots on my driveway. I've seen posts regarding the Subaru's tendency to burn oil, but not to this extent. I also haven't noticed any excessive smoking during driving. Very puzzling. The engine has
78,0000 miles.Anyone have a similar oil consumption problem?
;)

Something is very very wrong. My Forester consumes about 1/2 of a quart in
I know. I was just having fun with a typo.

Everything else is running fine. No sputters stalling or hesitation. Up until I started replacing oil at the high rate (approx. 60,000 mi) I had the oil changed regularly at 3000-6000 mile intervals. The oil changes were done by the dealer.
