i do an oil/filter change and only ever seem to use/need 4 litres, the mark on the dipstick is bang on, always drain the oil warm etc and leave for a good 10 mins or so for all to trickle out

Unless you use an engine wash you will never get all the oil out due it the oil covering all its componants. Its really nothing to worry about. Just use good oil and service regularly. The most important thing to remember is a turbo engine and espicially the turbo run alot hotter so break down the oil alot faster so its important to use a good quality and change as often as you can.

Did you check the level before you drained it. remember these cars use a bit of oil as stated by subaru. so it was maybe below the full mark. but .25 of a litre is nothing..
