NJ-LGT Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 If anyone needs instructions on how to change their oil, I'm not so certain you should be changing it. At least have someone with you that has the knowledge with you the first time. It's a very straight forward process that you can even google. As far as capacities are concerned, it's all found in your owners manual. I've change my share of oil, just not on this car. I just like to be armed with more info if it is available.

fishbone Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I want to pick up an Amsoil oil and air filter, but their online store has them pretty damn expensive. Autozone doesn't seem to have them online, nor does Advance. Suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_J Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Never heard of it. K & N are top of the line at Autozone for 12.50. Bosch for 6.50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbone Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I don't want a reusable one. Turns out Amsoil doesn't make air filters, but they have Wix listed on their site. Anyone know if they market their oil filters outside the dealer program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTATV Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 only place i have been able to find amsoil oil and filters is online at their website. some random mom & pop auto parts store will carry it. i became a dealer for amsoil a while back, you sign up for a year and get a big discount on stuff. I just bought a bunch of oil at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanB Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Wow, that was intense!!! I had read several times that the old oil comes gushing out of there, but I was not ready for that, lol. It overflowed the funnel on my drain pan! Really glad I will have the fumoto valve for next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onthewagon Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I was expecting the big gusher when I changed my oil, so I spread kitty litter all over the ground before I got started so that I wouldn't make a mess in my driveway. I also took the suggestion from earlier in the thread about removing the oil filler cap before opening the drain plug. This worked like a charm - I didn't spill a drop! I just wanted to repeat that little tip in case it helps anyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBGuy Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 what size crush washer? my first oil change.. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_J Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Just get a bunch from the dealer. They're $1 each. The auto part stores don't carry many washers. Whenever I look they never stock them. Exeter Subaru.com sells them too, so you'll get exactly the right size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merc6 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Yeah I usualy keep a few in my ashtray just snag them from dealer. Not worth the hassle of the old one possibly leaking unless you like to have a "DSM spot" in the garage/driveway. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quicklook2 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 i just went to the dealer and got the smallest filter i have ever seen. 15208AA12A is listed for the 4 cyl 2000 legacy gt i have. can i use a six cyl filter 15208AA031 instead? the filter is larger and the rubber seal is the same as the small filter. even the cashier said that is the smallest oil filter she has ever seen.
