Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Vehicle is losing aproximately one quart of oil every 1000 miles. the vehicle does not appear to be "burning" oil nor is it leaking. this amount of oil loss appears high to me. i called subaru international in new jersey and they said this is "normal" for a subaru. i find this very hard to believe that a vehicle can lose 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles. i asked the dealer (marzolf subaru) to fix it, and they said no as it was not un-normal for a subaru to lose this much oil. thankyou for looking into this problem.*ak
