Odd oil change procedure per alleged Subaru TSB is you use one of their substitute filters

So my wife just took her Forester in for the first service because it was free. We got one of the new plain blue filters which I believe is an AC Delco and they used 0w20 Magnatec, or at least that’s what’s on the invoice. I thought it was discontinued but maybe they can still get it in bulk or something. I highly doubt they followed the TSB, but I have no proof either way other than the oil change took a while. Vehicle under warranty for another 150k km so I am not worried about it either way.
 
So apparently as of Jan 5 they revised the previous TSB and the flush is no longer necessary.
