I check the oil every few times i gas up. Has been confirmed to have no leaks before this consumption test. Service adviser even told me brz's aren't known to be consuming oil. Guess compression and leakdown is way to go if there's excessive oil gone.
All engines consume oil. Some more than others. Just because it uses a little oil is not a indication that it is worse shape than one that uses less. Power seats rings. If they put to much power to it early and overheated the rings you are screwed, nothing you can do but live with it. If they just did not seat good you could get them to seat a little better by running the engine hard.
