Here is a video of us changing the spark plugs and valve cover gaskets on a 2013 Subaru Outback.
The issue it was having was using oil. Especially at sustained highway rpm.
It was using over 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles at highway speeds.
The Spark Plugs, Spark Plug Grommets, and Valve Cover Gaskets are replaced in this video.

17:35 One of the plugs on this side was so tight, I thought it was stripped. I was freaking out for a few minutes and having second thoughts about performing this operation myself.

9:19 I used some blue shop towels and some cotton swabs to get most of the oil out of the spark plug holes before I removed the spark plug. I looked in the spark plug holes with a scope. Amazon has some thick swabs on a bamboo stick I ordered just for the other side because it was such a pain. But ... there was no oil on the spark plug threads after I removed them. And that means I didn't unintentionally over lube the threads on the new plugs going in, so I didn't unintentionally over tighten them.

I literally just did one side last weekend. Doing the other side soon.

8:39 I think they smaller spark plug tube gaskets are for Outbacks in China. That's what I read somewhere.

was there no need to clear the plug chamber of oil?

The cylinder?

@@bruceyyyyy Think promethius821 means "spark plug tube" itself and whether it was cleared of oil before replacing the covers with new gaskets

Did this fix the oil burning issue?

@bruceyyyyy 4 ай бұрын

It did not fix 100% but was a noticeable and marked improvement. Approximately 2 quarts a tank before and now a quart every other tank. We did the PCV at the same time (which will be another video)
