For now, I'm just using the Subaru brand oil and filter. I have the fumoto valve, so I don't even need to lift my car.
  1. Uncap oil cap on top
  2. Reach underneath to unlatch valve to drain oil into drain pan
  3. While oil is draining, replace oil filter on top
  4. After finished draining, relatch valve and pour in 5.5 quarts of oil
  5. Recap oil cap

i'd love to do the servicing myself but i'm afraid that i'll void the warranty...
In USA, servicing your own car won't void warranty as long as you show proof that the services was done in accordance to the maintenance schedule. Not sure how it works in Switzerland.
