2. I use 8100 Ecl-Lite, but I am sure that there are lots of products that are in same level or get the job done at the same level. |

Any full synthetic oil of the appropriate weight will be probably fine. I use Mobil 1 full synthetic on my gen1. I believe API-SP is the latest/best standard, so look for that on the back in a little circular logo. |

Okay cool thanks. Just a few questions if you don’t mind, what things do I need as in special pieces/parts to perform the oil change? I honestly thought all I needed to do was change the oil lol but now I see that I need more things. Obviously I’ve never changed the oil myself but I would like to learn how to.

Oil filter options?
For the factory specified oil filter, does anyone have the specifications?
Primarily I'm interested in the bypass pressure rating. There's room for a much taller oil filter. Anyone know of one that meets the bypass pressure range? |

I just checked my BRZ 2023 engine after a service. I usually check for oil spills.
This time I noticed the oil filter looks smaller. The oil filter they invoiced me for is a 15208aa170 but they installed a 15208aa160. Also, the oil level is 12mm over full level. |

I went back to the Subaru Dealer where they replaced the oil filter on the spot. Apparently it was an issue with a pick list that is now fixed.
They also spent time discussing and showing me how to check the oil level correctly. They didn't seem concerned about the oil level being a bit over max. It seems the car being on flat level surface, the engine being hot or cold and a settling period is enough to vary results that being a couple of millimeters over full is OK. The guy also spent quite a bit of time discussing tyre pressures as there was some concern about maximizing tyre life on the fronts. Overall, after the initial error, I can't complain about how helpful the team were. |

The settling period takes a long time on this engine. I wait 30 minutes after I change my oil to check. That is why your oil level is high. The other option is to premeasure the oil.
