Exactly !!!Completely dependent on the cause of the consumption.
Yup - the cause and effect isn't lining up with the "explanations" we've heard so far.Miller88 said:I've heard that short tripped subarus will eat the valve cover gaskets from the condensation rich oil sitting against them, but that's not a long oil change issue. That's a short trip issue.
It is well documented that the coolant , if not changed, will damage the head gaskets. But I'm failing to see how long oil change intervals will make the coolant eat the head gaskets.
And the FB engines don't have the head gasket problems because they pass the coolant to the head externally.
This discussion is absurd IMO. OCI duration does not cause head gasket issues, nor oil consumption issues.
