Subaru - Engine issues

[ZBB]

So... My sister texted me and I thought I'd ask here...

My sister has a 2013 Subaru Forrester that has now been diagnosed with the oil burn issue. Subaru did extend the warranty on the engines from this era to 8 years, 100k miles as part of the class action settlement, so it should be covered.

She was asking me anything she should be certain to ask about or be aware of? Thoughts?

I've told her to just ask in advance what the repairs are -- is it just certain parts, or is it an engine swap.

I also suggested she should consider replacing it once it's fixed. She likely has some time where the risk is low of an issue coming up again, but probably better to replace it in the next few months...
