Changing the oil in every vehicle is a little different but essentially the same. Drain plug and filter are similar across all modern vehicles. Subaru puts a dust shield under the front of the engine and it must be removed to gain easy access to the filter.

Because you ask here, I would suggest that you have your first oil change done by a professional who will allow you to watch. --Ken
