I am suggesting that Mobil 1 was no good in that engine. I have read a few times that there is no "best oil"; different applications respond differently to different oils.
You are saying that Mobil 1 is consumed at a higher rate than other oils in Subaru engines. How would you rate it's lubricating/anti-wear abilities?
Besides the expense of having to add oil on a regular basis is oil consumption indicative of anything else?
Thanks for the education.

The consumption issue can be an indication of the oil breaking down prematurely and slipping past the rings. We've also seen Blackstone lab reports on the M1 in client cars showing it breaks down significantly quicker than the Motul and Amsoil. (unfortunately I don't have the actual data in front of me).
