Sounds like an electrical issue with the ECU, starter or battery terminals.

Also (unless Subaru has changed their warranty policy), owners can change their own oil as long as it is recorded and done on or before schedule, and the receipts are kept showing the oil and filter used meet specifications.

Over filling by 1/2 quart is not going to seize the engine, unless the bottom end of the FA is such a terrible design that there is so much crank windage that it turns the oil to foam. Hopefully this engine never makes it into the STI if that's the case.

There is something the dealer isnt telling you. Its basically impossible that an extra half quart would seize the engine especially just normal driving around doing errands.
