Subaru says <1qt per 1000 miles of consumption is acceptible (not really on new cars, but on their slightly older ones).

nothing to do with what oil he uses.I strictly followed the Subaru-approved procedure regarding new engine break-in; keep rpm below 4K, unless it's an emergency.
So, I had a couple of "emergencies" I needed to gas my way out of.

I beat on my car during the break in time and still dont lose that much oil.
I check it about every 2 - 3 fill-ups and always before I take it in for service. Now that I have so many miles on the car I must say I dont check it as often
