Nothing special about it- it's one of the easiest cars I've changed oil on. As others have said, just stick to a good quality OEM-spec filter and full synth 0w-20 oil. And it does help to replace the drain plug washer every time, or else it has a tendency to have a few small drips on the plastic splash guard by the time you next change the oil.Most modern filters will have the anti- blowback valve that the OEM filters have. I use Bosch premium oil filters and Pennzoil Platinum 0w-20 full synthetic.

Pros: easy oil change, good quality
Cons: small drips

Youll be fine without a subaru filter, if youre using it long enough that it creates the pressure to go into bypass you need to stop being cheap and replace the filter each change and change more often.

I use Bosch Long Life D3300 oil filters and Rotella T6 5w40, gonna see how Motul 8100 5w40 does in comparison.

Avoid 5w30s most of them sheer to a 20 weight by the end of the change interval if you drive your car like its meant to be.

I've never had issues, and I oil test my car a few times a year.

Cons: 5w30 oil sheers
Part number: D3300

Castrol Oil filter

I would go with 0w30 or 0w40. I changed my oil and filter at 1k with castrol 0w40 and it runs just fine. I did find a few metal flakes and slivers in my oil filter. Guess they were left overs from being built.

Pros: runs just fine
Cons: metal flakes and slivers
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 1000 km

As long as the filter works well with synthetic oil. Some really cheap ones dont work well with synthetic like the red Purolator or Microgaurds. Bosch makes a great filter, I've used a few in my cars with store brand synthetic oil and oil stayed brown for a long time.

Pros: great filter, oil stayed brown
Cons: cheap filters bad with synthetic

I put in Pennzoil Platinum 10w-30 and a Bosch oil filter from autozone. My problem now is that whenever the oil gets up to operating temperature my oil pressure light goes on and stays on under 2400 rpms, anything above that and I'm good.

Cons: low oil pressure at temperature
