Oil consumption
Had my 2yr service On MY02 bugeye in August. Checked my oil level 1 month later and it had dropped to just over half. I know this could be cause the numpties didn't put enough in at the service. So I topped it up.
Have checked my oil level again today some 3 months on and it has dropped
again to bout 3/4. Now I know all modern cars use oil, and the breather systems used today burn it off.
How much do Impreza's is this quite normal consumption. There is no visable signs of any leaks, either on my drive or under the car.
Cheers

It's normal for last revision WRX's with "softer" piston rings!
I didn't ever suffer from oil consumption in my old MY00 even at hardest conditions when I add about 500ml per change (5000km) in my WRX03!
