First of all, no amount of oil consumption is considered "normal". Well I suppose every engine has some oil consumption, but it should be largely negligible. This is the year 2020 and no automotive company would ever tell the EPA oil consumption is "normal" lol and this has been the case for a while. Except maybe Mazda with their shit RX-8....That being said, many cars do burn oil and it seems to be common with Subaru boxer motors. My car has over a 100k miles and doesn't seem to burn any oil. I check it every couple thousand miles and do an oil change every 7k miles. I have NEVER had to add any oil except for occasional times when I do an oil change and didn't add enough oil to begin with. I have an auto which is in sport mode literally 100% of the time and I drive quite aggressive. I also run the recommended 0W20 which is thin and perhaps more likely to blow-by than thicker oils. If you are ever in a situation where you are under warranty with a car burning oil, I would make the dealer rectify that...
