Hey all, this is unrelated to the BRZ/FRS/86 but its a question regarding subaru. and will be long winded.

So my friend bought a 2014 STi Tsurgi (?spelling) model with less than 60K, in a private sale from someone within the GTA back in November 2016. But recently just had its 60K service which included an oil change and inspection, by the local dealer 3 weeks ago. This week while driving into work, on the highway, the car started to make a disturbing metallic sound, and when he got to the off ramp lights the car died. he was able to restart it and drive it a bit further to better spot, at which point he left it and came to work, by getting a lift from a fellow coworker who saw that he was stopped. The next morning we met a tow truck there, so I checked the oil level to see if it was low, but what i found, and wish I took a picture of, was the oil level, it was easily twice as high as the high mark after sitting all night in a flat parking lot. This shouldn't be a big deal as its under warranty, but when I my buddy took it to the dealer they said it was branded as modified and now the warranty is void, and to top it off they said the engine oil was a little high due to material being in the pan, but nothing out of the ordinary. Also, at the time of the sale the guy that he bought the car from said no performance mods were done to it. so far the dealer has taken apart the engine and said major damage was done to the heads, and a new long block will be $11K.

This all sounds questionable to me, but anyways, does anyone have any advice on this?

Much appreciated.
