This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Subaru dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: Subaru thinks burning through a quart of oil every 1,000 miles or so is perfectly normal. That's a crude stance if you ask us.

Zero dealer support or recognition of the issue; fixed myself after cleaning PCV oil consumption much improved and this was at 100K. Can also consider heavier weight oil 5w-20. 0w's are for better EPA mandated fuel economy. Just challenging enough to get oil changed there, improperly filled, oil filter way more than hand tight every time, once missed recapping the oil fill port.
Bigger down side is everything down stream. As I highly suspect O2 sensors, catalytic converters all will fail prematurely. Thanks EPA, Subaru USA for this compromised vehicle.
