No oil burner here
 
I'm sitting on 4k miles hilly driving (15k total) and am surprised to say this engine doesn't burn oil. I think there are a lot of misgivings about subaru engines possible. Ever since I used ecuflash to update to the 2014 calibration I've been very happy with this engine. I use Mazda Moly 0W20 oil with 1/2 qt mobile 1 racing. This engine broke in nicely.

Did someone hijack your account, because the regal I've seen would never have anything nice to say about the 86.

A lot of misgivings about Subaru engines? While I don't think that there are that many people here complaining about abnormal oil burning in general, there is/was a problem with the oil control rings on the FB engine Outbacks, Imprezas, Foresters, and CrossTreks.

All that moly should give your moAR poWaR and more mpg's (although the thicker Mobil1 Racing might negate that).
