I forgot to mention I will have to get it done at a different dealership from the one I bought the car from... I was told I can get it serviced at any Subaru

Id have to wait until next weekend where I can do it at my friend's house... Kind of hard when you live at an apartment complex with no jack or stands

You will get further advice, I am sure. Different preferences from different people depending on how they drive their cars, racing or otherwise. Some will only change the oil themselves because they don't trust anyone else or it is cheaper or is a hobby. Others only go to a dealer. Your call if you already have your BRZ.
For question 1, doesn't every BRZ sold in the US come with the same free services? Ive seen some people here say they get 3 free oil changes so why would that change from person to person?
