They are? I've owned 3 Subarus over 20 years and have never heard about that. Their old 2.5L engines were known for consuming oil, if you fed them thinner 5w-30 oil in warm climates, however. A lot of people switched to 10w-40 to solve it.

They are. The area where the head gasket seals the oil in their boxer engines is way too small and over my years of being a mechanic I only saw a handful that weren't leaking.
