my 2011 was consuming 1L every 1600km, especially on highway / hilly drives. it got a new short block / rings replaced at 90k under warranty, and it still consumes 1/2L. i recently switched over to Valvoline R&P, but am only on my second oil change with the stuff. on a long, hot, mountainous 8000km roadtrip last month it only consumed 1/3L per 1600km. i wasn’t expecting immediate results from R&P, so holding out hope that consumption continues to drop.

I'd recommend using some Valvoline for your oil changes from now on, particularly their Restore & Protect line. It shut those noisy lifters up in 2 oil changes on my old '09 Avalon, and good lord did it flush out a bunch of gunk I didn't know was in there. I got a few MPG's more after it was said and done, too, and she ran happy.
Use good oil, always helps. Try valvoline restore and Protect. Quieted my engine down a little
the reg jug of Valvoline Maxlife ATF at Walmart is what you want
There are much more cost effective alternatives to Subaru fluids that meet or exceed the OEM specifications, including Amsoil Synthetic CVT Fluid, ENEOS ECO CVTF/ENEOS Import CVTF Model S, Idemitsu CVTF Type SB2 (which is often the OEM fluid in a different bottle) and Valvoline CVT Full Synthetic.
i have a 21 jetta, been using the valvoline one, no issues
Valvoline Restore/Protect cleaned all the black gunk out under my oil cap after 6 oil change cycles.
I used to use Rotella T4 as recommended by many on the forums. It was fine but I switched to Valvoline 20w50 because it has the additional Zinc like the Rotella T4, and a bit better film strength which protects bearings at high RPM.
I’m running basic conventional 10-30 Valvoline. Oil changes every 3500 miles. 185K miles, track if 5x a year
Valvoline is pure trash. Hardly any additives between any other lines of oil compared to competing brands.
