"1 qt. per 600 miles" is nothing new nor specific to Toyota/Subaru. I first ran into that back in 1995 or so when a friend of mine told me she had to add a quart of oil every other tankful of gas in her Mercedes 190e. When I expressed shock she said that was normal according to her OM and the dealership. I looked up various manufacturers and it seems they all say that now. I dunno, could be just the makers' covering their asses or a way to reduce warranty claims. Mine uses about a quart every 3k miles so I carry around that last 0.3qt. Of oil left over from the oil change. I like to change my oil at 4k intervals. If you take your car to the dealer to complain about using a quart every 2k miles, they'll just tell you that is within spec...

My twin burns no oil between changes. Zero. I'm going 7k between changes with 5-30 Torco SR-5.

cam plates resealed under warranty and a few thousand miles later had an engine failure because the dealer used too much sealant. I'm just surprised how they have gotten away with this for so long. Some blame the boost which could indeed have something to do with it but when stock engines seize, then you know it's not the boost. the 13 model engines tend to go out around 60k from what I've seen |

Well, I'll weigh in. My 2013 FR-S, with 21,000 miles, uses less than a 1/2 qt. of oil (0w20) in between oil changes (every 7 months or 7,000 miles).
However, I've never tracked it, only hit the rev limiter a couple of times (once in a heated race with a soccer mom in a mini-van) and I have the shift light set at 6,200 rpms. Pretty exciting - huh - humfrz |

Did Subaru redesign the rocker arms in later model BRZ's or is it the same design throughout all the years?

I'm at 102k now and so far the engine has been rock solid other than the timing chain cover leak which the dealer covered. It doesn't burn any oil either and I do lots of long (200-600 mile in one day) trips. Fingers crossed every time I start it up |

I don’t believe the rocker itself changed but the pivot changed (has a much smaller hole in it) and the valves got longer which would change the angle of the rocker. A smaller hole in the rocker would increase the lift in it which I could see reducing play in the rocker which would reduce ejections. |

I spun the #3 on my 2013 which had a 22222 block. The replacement short block from Toyota is also a 22222. |

I don't think they would necessarily change the part number for a revision.

Updated the first post.
I'm looking at purchasing a used engine, worst case scenario. If we get to dispute settlement and that doesn't work, I'm not going to spend more money on litigation than it costs to replace the engine. Feels like the right thing to do would be to fight Toyota as far as possible on this, but it may not make sense financially. Haven't given up, yet. We'll see what happens in the next week. Good news is I'm used to not having the car now, so I'm not nearly as stressed out as I was in the first week or two. |

So what they are basically saying is changing your own oil voids the warranty? What a bunch of BS. Im curious if there is a way to sufficiently prove to Toyota that you’ve changed the oil. Recipes apparently aren’t enough. Do they need a freaking time stamped video?
