Secondly, this is why I do as much work as I can on my car, myself. Dealerships charge a premium for their "exceptional service" and yet, they're too fucking stupid to even avoid doing things like over-torqueing the oil drain bolt and stripping out the pan, overfilling the oil, etc. The sad truth is that way too many people simply don't care and/or aren't any good at their jobs anymore.

I'm going to disagree there. Having a Subaru engine isn't part of the equation when it comes to draining the oil, taking off the filter, putting a new filter on, then filling the oil back up. It comes down to the competency of the tech.
Also, not everyone has the ability, time, space, desire, etc to change their own oil. At least if a shop does it and messes something up, you have the ability to go after them to make it right.
