If you look, oil consumption is a common problem on Subaru flat 4 engines-usually before 100K. Not exactly confidence-inspiring. They are kind of like rotary engines..
I read the first line about 5 times until I figured out what was going on.

I thought you had somehow mated a Mercury Cougar with the engine of an '02 Subaru.
