We bought a new 2013 Subaru XV CrossTrek for our daughter. 26k so far. Love it. Yes it has had to have oil added. Do you think the 0-w20 is too thin & it is getting by the rings or what ?
.
More than likely your dipstick just shows loss of oil better, while others are angled to hide it. See it all the time. I run 10w30 in 0w20 engines in the summer. 5w30 in the winter.
All engines drink some oil. Manual trans cars that spend excess time under engine braking vacuum can drink more. A big engine like a GM 8.8L will drink a qt every 1000 miles. Could be driving style. Could be normal. Could just be overfilled. Many Detroit Series 60's will rapidly drink oil until it's halfway on the dip stick, then stop and level out. I wouldn't sweat it. just topp off as needed. But avoid filling all the way to the top of the stick. Shoot for middle and see if it helps.
