Yeah I would definitely change the filter since the filter medium should have picked up a lot of the metal particles and shavings from break-in. I changed mine out with a fresh Subaru black filter.
For oil, I went with Mobil 1 0w20 AFE, but will probably switch to a 30 weight before my next track day. I think the manual still states a conventional 5w30 can be used if a synthetic 0w20 is not available, same as the 1st gen. FWIW that Mobil 1 oil is actually pretty stout for a 0w20 with a KV100 value of 8.8. The only 0w20 oil I've found that's thicker at high temp is Redline 0w20.
I'm planning to change out the trans and diff oil this winter.
