Thanks Juanbenae. You posted while I was writing. I'm in Half Moon Bay, car lives in S.F. I'm not sure if there are records or not from po. It's an east coast car that sort of involved me in it's story (it's complicated and I don't ask a lot of questions) In my initial start with it I flew to Phoenix where the truck driver who had been transporting it broke down and the car got impounded. After 7 hours in 104 degrees trying to spring it I finally trailer-ed it home 4 wheels up. Going through her. Brakes and clutch feel great very clean fluid. I'm not going to look at the transaxle fluid unless it's dead easy, Shifts well, syncros seem good. Initially it was killing it's battery, the drivers side interior light switch was keeping the windows live, poke it a few times and it fixed that. So my only worry is the oil and if a quart every 700 isn't crazy for that mileage, then I feel much better. My wife has had several Subies with high miles and I think the oil consumption is a feature of high mile flat engines.
