Oil consumption has been an issue with some 2014's. Here's a long thread about it:
www.subaruforester.org/vbulletin/f1...on-about-oil-consumption-split-thread-375081/
I believe these were the units that were susceptible to oil consumption:
Automatic / CVT Transmission:
2011-14 Forester (below VIN *529004)
Manual Transmission:
2011-15 Forester (below VIN *543650
If one of the above vehicles is suspected having an oil consumption problem, a Subaru dealer will perform a consumption test. If the vehicle fails the test, Subaru will replace the short block. I think there were some time and mileage limitations on Subaru's goodwill gesture so check on that. Also check that it applies to a non-original owner.
