My 1999 Subaru outback legacy is not using oil.

That said, a Subaru engine works much the same as every other 4-cycle internal combustion engine. There are a couple of general categories that could cause excessive oil usage and more information is necessary.

1) Define "using oil". What do you mean when you say that? Your oil usage could be within the realm of "normal".

2) You could have worn parts. How many miles on the odometer?

3) Do you ever see blue smoke coming out of the back?

4) Have you checked for leaks? Can you put a piece of clean cardboard under the engine when the car is parked? Determining location of leaks is the first step to repairing them.

5) Is there oil in the coolant recovery bottle or is the coolant clean?
