Consumer Description

PURCHASED FEB 2014, SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE OIL LIGHT COMING ON. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT 3400 MILES AND THE OIL IS LOW. I HAVE ADDED UP TO A QUART OF OIL. MY CAR HAS ABOUT 34,000 MILES ON IT NOW AND I HAVE HAD THE OIL LIGHT COME ON WITH LOW OIL ABOUT 7 TIMES. THE LIGHT COMES ON USUALLY BETWEEN 3400 & 4000 MILES. THIS IS MY SECOND OUTBACK AND I NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE FIRST ONE. I HAVE BEEN OUT OF TOWN ALL BUT 1 OF THESE TIMES WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON. I LIVE 1-1/2 HOURS FROM THE NEAREST SERVICE CENTER AND THEY KEEP HAVING ME COME EVERY 1200 MILES TO DO A OIL CHECK. THE FIRST TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON IT WAS FEBRUARY 5, 2014 AND HAS COME ON 5-6 TIMES SINCE THEN. *TR
