This video is really helpful. My mom has an 06 Forester, and I know the air filter is a beotch to get in. But I am trying to learn how to change the oil. Wanna stop paying people to do that. After watching your video, I think I can do this. Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I am just about to do oil change on my forester. Dude sick Ferrari. Cheap beer is law. Never trust anyone that works on cars that drinks expensive beer while doing it. It eventually gets warm and warm expensive beer is disgusting while warm cheap beer is actually palatable. About the oil filter: that tool is a universal tool. A couple years ago I picked up a oil filter tool that attaches to a 3/8 socket and hence you can attach any 3/8 extension. Works great with a 3/8 wrench and socket for those types of filter setups. Anyways gave me a heads up. Cheers.

Gotta love getting to that oil filter! Great cars though. That Subaru will run forever.

Until the head gaskets blow !

You can find oil filter wrenches that have 3 vertical arms the tighten around the bottom of a oil filter with a socket wrench or socket wrench and extension. It would be easier on a oil filter like that.

you just need a wrench that can be connected to extender , they sell them at walmart . I bought the whole set of different wrenches, and they work great for all kinds of filters

I thought about learning how to change the oil and filter on my Subaru, but once I saw that beer I decided to spend my money on beer..Did you make those ramps out of legos??? From the sound as they scraped on the floor I don't think I'd trust myself under the car...Just another good reason to drink beer instead...

I don't know I haven't had to change mine yet.

Use a Mazda N3R1-14 -302 factory oil filter (RX-8) . Screws straight on..nearly twice the capacity..and a lot easier to remove and install.

Old comment, but no you don't need to fill the filter. The few extra seconds of oil not flowing is fine. I wouldn't change the oil @ -40° and then let it sit over night before starting it, but otherwise you're engine won't be hurt. If your car has an oil pressure gauge watch it when you start it after changing your oil, you'll see how quick the oil gets moving.

No offense but running into things that are difficult and making a mess is a daily thing working on cars.
