Hi there, brought a friends 2016 Subaru Outback 3.6r to the dealer for an oil change on Friday. A couple miles down the road , in a snow storm, the eyesight and oil light flickered on. I pulled over and turned the car off. Upon restarting, all lights went off.
On our way back from skiing 2 days and a couple hundred miles later the oil light came back on. Pulled right in to an autozone and found the oil to be 2 quarts low and upon reviewing the receipt- they filled it with 0-20 instead of 5-30.
Wondering if/ how much damage this may have caused. Calling the dealer tomorrow and I’m sure they’ll just want to change it for free. The car only has 17,000 miles on it and has been dealership maintained since new, he’s planning to keep it for ever.
He’s always had the piece of mind because he’s so anal with maintenance but now feels like even if it’s running decently still, what happens when the motor pops in 30k miles. Think I should push for a warranty of something?
