Subaru Mississauga is also so backed up with recall/service work that they are actually turning people away at this point and I would have to take the car back to the original dealership (Whitby).

XIII: pushed the car into the shop, up on the lift, and drained the oil; spun bearing appears to be the likely culprit. Definitely not covered under recall. Used engine ordered and should be installed in a couple of days. Comes with a 1 yr warranty including labour.
What oil were you running on this engine?
