Upper Oil Pan
Looking for mechanic expertise-
I have a 2016 Legacy 2.5i Premium about 92k miles, WA region, took it in to the (Independent) shop for my 90k service and they said I have an upper oil pan assembly leak and shouldn’t drive it on the freeway as it’s a fire hazard.
Wondering if I’m good to drive it on the freeway or is that a legit warning? I can fix it in a couple weeks as the Independent shop is booked out a couple weeks.
Also, haven’t found much info on this for a 2016 Legacy, is this legit? It’s the first time I’m hearing about it after dealership servicing the car for most of its life.
How’s the price? Reasonable?
Their comment was:
Rear main seal and upper oil pan leaking; Subaru has a TSB 02-166-17R Upper oil pan assembly- design changes; upper oil pan will need replaced with rear main seal $2870.00 plus tax
Thank you all for the help.
