This is very good advice. Checking oil levels on these boxer engines is a frustrating exercise in guesswork even for mechanics.

Otherwise, I do not hear any untoward noises in the video.

And 6,000 rpm is too high for an engine with only 1,000 miles on it.

And changing the oil at only 1,000 miles was not a good idea.

These engines benefit from leaving the build oil in the crankcase for as long as Subaru says, which I believe is 5,000 miles before the first change.
