Sourcing for filter?
Well, in another topic I see someone posted "Subaru 15208AA170" as a 2nd-gen oil filter. Hopefully that holds true and I figure on doing the 1000-mile oil change in a few weeks.
I see Amazon has that part # at $12.99 but I thought to ask is (a) there's a dealer or OEM parts seller that supports the forum and we should support them, or (b) someone with a killer price. (I have no objection to buying several filters at one time, like in a bulk pack within reason).

I usually just go to the local dealer parts counter.
Amazon is usually marked up for commodities like that (convenience and shipping factor) |

Dealers will usually offer a buy x get x 'free' deal. Last time I went to my local dealer I got a case of them for relatively cheap.

OK, I'll just hit the dealer, then. Thus I'll have via them a firm handle on the correct part number. I went and looked under the hood yesterday, the filter is installed in a such a way that I cannot see the part number on the case but, interestingly, the filter has a brand name on it other than Subaru.

The part number you have is correct for the second gen. It's made by Tokyo Roki.

Yes, but I'd have to be well paid to go in there.

Here in Canada, parts for my 2016 FRS are 50% more expensive for the same part from Subaru than at a local Toyota dealer.
Your only shopping challenge may be that the Toyota parts counter will first ask for your VIN to search. Your BRZ VIN won’t work for them. A visit or online Toyota vendor may be advantageous. Go to sparksparts.com to search your corresponding 86 part number and order with confidence. Don’t forget the crush washers. Cheers!

or you can get a fumoto valve, and never need to deal with the crush washer again!

But in the end Toyota filters aren't by Tokyo Roki so I just find the cheapest Subaru one I can online and do that

no motor ever drains completely.
that's why it's important to warm up the motor, and get the particulates to be held in suspension so they come out as soon as possible.
