Consumer Description

MY SUBARU OUTBACK 2014 HAS 50,000 MILES, LOW OIL LIGHT COMES UP ABOUT 4000 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE. SUBARU MANUAL SAID THAT IS 7500 MILES BETWEEN OIL CHANGE. SUBARU DEALER PERFORMS OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. SUBARU DEALER TOLD ME IT IS NORMAL AND THAT I HAVE TO ADD OIL IF LOW OIL LIGHT COME UP. I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE CHEATING.
