Well, back from the dealer, paid $9.58 for the filter and $1.67 for the washer (listed as "gasket" on the invoice? OK...) Hmm, while the one on the car had the Roki name, the new one does not and says "Genuine Subaru". Go figure.

Absolutely. Need to look up jacking disciplines or I could simply drive up on ramps.

The Honda S2000 we just sold was the first car where there was a big deal over tightening the filter to a torque spec instead of "yeah, that feels pretty tight". So, on the BRZ, I need to revisit that? Which of course means I need a filter wrench that the torque wrench plugs to.

Hey, at least I won't be back on the forum asking "hey, where is the oil filter on this car?"
