If you go to longer intervals for changing oil, make sure you check your oil level to see if it is using oil.

My son-in-law is a Subaru tech - they had a series of engines that are using oil right off the lot. They did tests by carefully filling the oil and checking after 1000 miles.

He has had to rebuilt several.

He actually won a reward from Subaru for a procedure using vice grips to take the slack out of the timing chains during reassembly.
