Question,

How much oil do you use now your Foz has over 100,000 miles?


Also, how many miles a week do you clock up?


Thanks for your response in advance.

I put 4 ltr in on an oil change which puts it to 1/2 way on the dip stick. I don't have to add more between services, but then it's hard to see if it's lost any just by looking at the DS. I do no more that 150 miles per week for the last couple of years, and i'm at 106,600 miles.

Mines on 117k, done 3k miles since service in September, not had to add any oil yet.

 

[forester200]

140 k ...no oil consumption :Banane08:

 

[Neil8p]

133k, 300 miles a week, no oil consumption

 

[Nich B]

not gone past 100K yet

but 88000

no oil consumption

Same as everyone else...105k and hardly any oil used.
Presume that there is a reason for the question Alan..does your car drink the stuff ?

Cheers

~130,000 here. 5 qts go in, and usually get about 4.5 back after 4,000 miles. If I change at 3,000 theres no measurable loss at all.

188,000 miles on the engine and sometimes add 1/2 QT between my 3K interval oil changes. I use Valvoline MaxLife 5w30 oil.

Oh....and I have been known to put up to 2K miles or more per week on mine. Lately been averaging about 500-1500 miles in a week.

Last year I put 40K total miles on the other 99L that I had. That's the one this engine came out of.

117k, 0-1 qt every 4k on Dino Castrol (high mileage). The legacy doesn't loose any at all at 85k and being almost 17 years old a(lso high mileage din Castrol)...

Usually put ~200 miles a week on 'em.

162,000 -- never used a drop of oil between changes. I do follow the 3750 between changes because I have the turbo. I do dealer services - because I'm lazy and we live in an apartment -- just to much hassle to do myself.

159k on the Foz and about .5 qt of Mobil1 5W-30 EP Syn every 10k miles. :smile: About 400miles per week average, I'd guess.

148k on the Outback and .2 qt every 4k miles. 200-300 miles per week lately.

~132,000 miles, 5,000 mile change interval since this car spends most of its life on rural highways, 375 mile average per week (it varies widely from week-to-week, 50 to 1,000+ miles), no noticeable loss of oil between changes.

I should note that this car lives a very easy life on the road, with very little boost and a lot of time on cruise control.
