| Answer to: 2014 Subaru Legacy oil consumption issue | 20Relevance | 5 years ago | RallyFOZ | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... it drank a quart of oil. Before you return it to the dealership, drain out the oil and measure it to make sure it's missing enough oil to qualify for engine replacement. If not, remove some oil and pour the remainder back in the engine. I know this seems shady but I think it's total B.S. that's subaru makes their car owners jump through hoops to get something fixed that wasn't built properly in the first place. subaru's own service bulletin for the oil consumption test says they will only replace the engine if it has an...

| It depends on mileage and maintenance history. The 4-cylider 4th Generation Legacys have an EJ253 engine with a timing belt and the maintenance interval is 10 years or 100,000 miles, so make sure that's up to date. The EJ253 was affected by early head gasket failure, however, the subaru replacement parts kits moved to Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets. If you can find one with proof of head gasket replacement using genuine subaru parts, you shouldn't have any head gasket issues for the lifetime of the engine. If you're concerned about this, but still want ... | |||||
| Answer to: Subaru Legacy 2017 bad CVT, being replaced by Subaru, should i sell after fixed | 19Relevance | 5 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Yeah I’d get rid of it. When it’s something like a subaru Crosstreck 1.6L where the CVT is rated for 250NM and the engine makes only 150NM… it’s not terrible, expect for the obligatory eye watering $600 valve body at 90,000 miles (just cause subaru are c**** and don’t supply parts) But the legacy? That’s a much more complex transmission (TR690) mated to a much more powerful engine. subaru just refuse to give up their obsolete designs. There’s a reason why practically almost no car marker (with some exceptions) has boxer engines or powerful engines m ... | |||||

| If you want the gory details, see the site Hyundai/Kia topic: Or, use your favorite search engine to search the internet for topics like Hyundai engine failure, Hyundai transmission failure, Hyundai fires, Hyundai poor quality. As far as the subaru, in 2011 the outback 2.5 was still the older design with timing belts, and head gaskets that tend to blow every 100K miles or so. When that car was built subaru had a problem with defective piston rings which causes excessive oil consumption. In addition with nearly 190K miles on that car you can bet your sw ... | |||||

| The 2.4L engine in that 2014 has a history of excess oil consumption, especially if it is equipped with a Theta II engine. Hyundai/Kia products are poorly made vehicles, and that thing has super high mileage. That's going to most likely be a ticking time bomb. The subaru is almost 15 years old and it has almost 200k miles on it. Stopping and starting are the CVT's weakest link. subaru doesn't have Toyota's launch gear, and first starting out on a conventional CVT places huge strain on the CVT's belt. Toyota saw this and it developed and patented a dedicate ... | |||||
