Excessive RTV silicone sealant from the oil pan can break loose and block the oil pickup screen in 2022-2023 Subaru BRZ models with the FA24D engine. Symptoms include low oil pressure warnings, metallic engine noise, reduced power, and possible stalling. If ignored, this can damage crankshaft and rod bearings or seize the engine, requiring engine replacement. Most early failures were repaired under warranty, and no authoritative out-of-warranty repair cost estimate is available.
