I have been having all my services done at the Subaru dealer here in town. Due to the schedules and the holidays I will need to have an oil & filter done at an independent shop. Is there anything unique about oil & filter change on a 2005 Subaru Forester XT (Turbo) that I need to be concerned with? . I remember when I had a 65 VW Variant, that you had to use a new copper gasket/washer on the drain plug to prevent leaks & damage to the case from over tightening. . Is there anthing like this that I need to purchase from the dealer and make available to the independent shop so the job is done according to Subie standards? . BTW, the independent is not a quicky lube and has a good reputation and track record in the community. . Thanks in advance.
