I know this isn't the proper forum for this Subaru oil consumption issue so here's my last bit of info.  I was looking in at the Subaru specs again today. Besides having nearly double the piston side clearance of a VW the maximum allowable piston ring end gap is .040". The top ring was .010" to .020 as an OK tolerance. The oil rings are are considered within spec at .020" to .030" and no more than .040" ! VW is about .015" to .002" .  With this kind of clearances, no wonder they use oil !  I wonder why Subaru allows such wide open spaces ?...............Bruce
