oil consumption

Hello, I’m Pete from the Car Genius team at RepairPal. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this concern on your Subaru Crosstrek. With an engine oil consumption concern there are several possible causes such as an external engine oil leak, an internal oil leak, piston ring failure, cylinder head gasket failure, valve seal failure, etc. The first thing I recommend is to have the engine inspected for any external oil leaks as well as any engine oil mixing with other fluids. If this is checked and found to be o.k. then the next step would be to have an engine oil consumption test performed to help identify how much oil is being used in X amount of time. Further engine testing would need to be performed from there to help identify any internal problems within the engine that are causing this concern so it can then be identified and repaired properly. Most repair facilities if needed can perform the inspection and testing to help pinpoint the cause.
