Should be easier for plugs. As above, you can remove the front wheels and fender liners to get to them. Unlike the AWD Subarus that have frame rails in the way.

Oil changes will be a breeze if Fumoto has a drain valve that fits this pan.

I am curious about how much oil the engine holds. That's a really shallow pan, maybe 3 quart? I think the BRZ might need frequent oil changes. I foresee a sythetic oil requirement and 3000mi oil changes.
