Only noticed on sunday on my return so i couldnt get a refill.
Drove nicely all the way home and went to Subaru on Monday where they topped it up and said I should come back after 1000 kms to test the consumption.
Any ideas. Im about to reach 20 000km so i dont understand why it consumes so much oil.

Bud, do you check your oil level on a level surface when the car is cold?
You might get odd readings when checking the engine straight after a drive, thats why I never check at petrol stations.
My BRZ has hardly been using any oil but I know that my car had a hard break in when new which is exactly the way I think it should be. I have heard of relatively higher oil consumption from easy break-in's.
