Engine low level oil light came on a few times when I drove up my driveway or over a few inches of snow. Manually inspected oil levels the first few times and restarted engine. The warning light would go away. Warning light never came on when driving on a flat surface and always went away when parked on flat surface and restarted vehicle. There was no loud engine sound, knocking sound or smoke. Page 3-19 of the owners manual stated that the warning light might illuminate temporarily when driving on inclined surface. One day 15 minutes into my commute on a freeway I heard a rattling noise and then heard server knocking , smoke and then the whole engine caught fire. The entire vehicle then caught fire in a few minutes. I have talked to subaru and formally filed a complaint. Insurance has determined it is a manufacturing issue.
