FANTASTIC report Opie, very well put together, looks great but will be leaving all of that to the professionals I think. Looks easy enough I suppose but I dont want to be putting them out of a job.........
Just curious also, when you were draining the oil, it looked very black, wouldnt this be considered very unusual for a new car? or did it just seem a lot blacker from the pictures?

Thanks!
The pics make the oil look a bit darker than it really was, it actually looked (and smelled) very good. I can't wait to get a few more miles on it to go synthetic! :twisted:

What is the reason for replacing the crush washer?
Is this a Subaru thing?
I've never heard of doing that when performing an oil change (and I've changed quite a few hundred gallons of oil in my time).
So the filter threads are aranged verticaly/straight up which actually allows you to pre-oil the filter.....COOL! Don't see that too often today. Lots are angled and some are even upside down!
Does the filter cross to an aftermarket or AC-Delco PN?
What was the cost of the filter at the dealer?

Why does this dipstick measure higher when hot? Perhaps "cold" means cold oil, but engine has recently run? The dipstick should go down once the oil has been pumped all over the engine...
I'd think too much oil would be especially dangerous in a boxer..

Yep it's a Subaru thing, the crush washers are one-time use and should be replaced at every change to prevent leaks, they are cheap!
I don't know if the filter has any aftermarket alternatives yet, I got mine at the dealer, it was $6.50
Tide - You have PM
Deer Killer - Not sure, that's what the owners manual said regarding reading the dipstick...

On my turbo Dodges I installed a kill switch on the coil to prevent dry starts after an oil change. Any chance this can be done on the GT?

I think I might remove the door to the oil filter on mine. Seems like a big PITA to not lose the clips and have to undo them each time.
I use fiber washers on all my cars. They are reusable and seal up very well. I'll try one on my scoobie to see how it works....

Local municipality has drop-off locations. Maybe a couple bucks, if that.

Around where I live, the local trash company will pick it up with recycleables.

In NY, at least, you can take it to any 'service' station that performs such service, and drop it off for free. They are required to take used oil, coolant, etc.

I'm not so sure of that.
The places that WILL take it free because their required are the Pep-Boys or any place that SELLS oil to you at retail. A local service station doesn't "sell" oil retail, therefore isn't "required" to take it for free.
