OP- IMO the Mobil 1 0W40 you mentioned would be a great choice in that engine.
Advice needed for 2015 Subaru Outback BS9 that consume?
It was definitely a rare case it seems. I still have the oil stain on my garage floor to remind me of the whole thing.
Not saying it won’t ever happen, because flukes happen, but now that I’ve switched over to a certain oil, I know that the seals & gaskets have their best shot possible at a long life!It was definitely a rare case it seems.

The OP mentions JDM engine, although I do not believe the 2015 JDM FB25 is DI either.

Sorry maybe I mixed it up with my FA20 which is direct injected turbo.
I am sorry I was mistaken. I assumed F series were all direct injected.The OP mentions JDM engine, although I do not believe the 2015 JDM FB25 is DI either.

Might want to check/change PCV if it's this bad. If it's bad might be pressurizing crankcase and causing these issuesCam carriers and covers on both sides. Passenger side got to the point it was dripping pretty bad. One of the worst ones my dealer had seen. It definitely had plenty of undercoating on that side
My '99 Legacy GT Wagon with EJ DOHC engine unsurprisingly developed weeping cam carriers at about 10 years old/ 100k miles. Switching from regular Mobil 1 to the HM version mostly stopped problem; after that, consumed about 1 quart per 2000 miles. That car is still in service with a young relative.
Old joke: "If your Subaru isn't leaking any oil, it just means that there isn't any left in it."

I have a 2017 OB with the 2.5. When using Mobil 0w-20 it uses a quart about every 3500 miles, with Castrol Edge 0w-20 it uses a quart every 5500 or so. Doing 6K oil changes (miles) but will start doing 5K.
