I did some looking around on the web and found that some others had crank bearings 1 and 3 go out caused by crankshaft wobble. One had the failure at 10k miles. I could find nothing about camshaft bearing failure. I think Subaru had a supplier problem which they fixed after it came out in a few engine failures. Of course they would never admit that as the standard procedure is to deny any fault in situations such as this. Had you not had the bypass they would have probably blamed lack of maintenance if you couldn't prove with dealer receipts that you did all the service within the severe interval. Just ask those who experienced the Toyota sludge problem.quote:

If the ByPass filters cause low oil pressure or any other problem the WHOLE engine would be worn out. Not just one bearing. Come on guys think about it.
I also read the warrenty which a Subaru Forester owner posted and it said that they would not cover any problem caused by the addition of a non approved modification. I read the sentence carefully and it specifically said that the modification had to be the cause of the damage. Since Subaru did not find the Amsoil bypass to be the CAUSE, then they should have to warrenty the repair. GET A LAWYER and get your money back from the real crooks at Subaru.
