And I'll be going to a Subaru dealer that is familiar with boxers instead of a Scion dealer.
BTW, doesn't the manual even say to change it the first time at 3500 miles?

this is an excellent point! the simple "fact" is, subaru dealers are very familiar with the ''boxer" as it is their main engine!.this could make a difference as to how well the car gets serviced, both now,and many years down the road!..just sayin'
