    Oil in pan not reaching dip stick

    Ok guys alittle worried about what I am noticing about my wrx. I do an oil change and two maybe three weeks goes by and I peek at the oil level and get an ugly scary site of the dip stick being dry. Oil light doesn't come on. Anyone else have this issue ? Any answers will be awesome. Don't let me down guys. Peace out.

    What oil are you using, and how many miles on your WRX?

    Honestly, it sounds like to me that your using up oil faster than most. Oil consumption is somewhat common with the turbo charged EJ's.

    Take the intake hose off the top of the intercooler, and look/feel inside it for oil. If you have a lot of oil in there (there will probably be at least a little bit) then you are getting oil blow by, most likely from the turbo.

    How many miles are on the turbo, engine, car?

    I have heard people burning oil using mobile 1, royal purple and such. I use Amsoil and have zero burn. Might want to try Amsoil once to see if it stops.
