Hello all,
I've had this issue with this car since I've owned it.
the car will randomly come up on the screen and warn me that my engine has low oil in the engine.
Each time this has happened, I was able to catch it quickly and add more oil to the car before anything major happens.
Wherever I end up stopping to buy more oil, I always lie down and feel under the engine. My hand comes back dirty, sure but not oily.
The car will typically take a 1-2 quarts before the dipstick reads high, and then I can be on my way.
I don't understand what is happening here.
There is not oil in the coolant reservoir and there is no blue smoke coming from the exhaust.
It seems more like the oil just vanishes without a trace.
I thought I had it figured out, but now I don't know.
I used to change the oil after 4000 miles since what I bought said it was good for 7500. Somewhere between 3K and 4K is usually when it happens. This last time however, it happened again at around 1.5K.
I typically change my own oil, but I have taken it to Subaru 3 times to have the oil done and it still happens.
I'm at a loss at this point. I now keep jugs of oil in my car which worries me in the hot SC heat.
Anyone have any ideas?
