Get some ramps, 17mm socket, oil (5w30 or 0w20), oil filter (Subaru p/n 15208AA170.... don't know the Toyota p/n off the top of my head)
In my Turbo, I use what many consider the best oil for gdi engines, pennzoil ultra platinum 5w/30 with the oem mazda filter. Although some aftermarket filters have better filter media, none meet the 22 psi bypass valve specs on the turbo engine.
Since I change my oil every 3,500 miles, the OEM is the best choice.
His initial experience with the Mazda has been pleasant, but it's definitely not as refined as the Corolla. Definitely sportier and looks great, but it has some areas where it's rougher around the edges than the Corolla. Things like having a different size oil filter from the factory than what is sold as the replacement part... Quality of Life stuff like that.
I order the OEM Subaru filters and use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30. In your case you’d probably want to start using Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage.
Subarus are easy to work on for all the basics you’ll be doing, my only gripe on mine (08 Impreza) is the oil filter is in between the headers but I can live with that.
Subaru 15208aa170 oil filters and mobil1 5w30 EP oil. 6000 mile oci backed up by oil analysis.
Only ever use Subaru OEM oil filter on mine and penzoil platinum full synthetic
FZ is expensive, but not as expensive as a new transmission. Get the FZ.
The blue Subaru filters are garbage. Made my FRAM in US. Use the black ones from Japan instead.
