I prefer doing my own oil changes because I don't like waiting 1-3 hours at a subaru dealership, having to see the salesman, and also deal with their markup and also you'll pay tax as well for the service. I feel like they talk down to me too, since I could have been doing the service myself instead of wasting time and money at their shop.
I wouldn't take my car to a regular shop. They won't have an OEM filter, and you won't know if they used a drain plug crush washer or not. I just went by the subaru dealership and picked up a few oil filters and crush washers.
Good tip on the fumoto valve. Might pick one up. Doing an oil change without requiring tools would be awesome.
