That's a busy day of changes.
I view that from my scenario, car on ramps, me on my back under it. Might be different with a lift or a pit.

Agreed. I use ramps, I helped my Dad form and pour concrete for the pit at his place but we live on the coast so it's always full of water. Ramps are easier and faster than hooking up the pump to drain it. Yes, the pit has a lid but try as we may, we get a LOT of rain here 8 months a year.
A high horsepower, naturally aspirated, 2017 Forester. Look, the engine will live a lot longer than my tolerance for replacing lug studs, wheel bearings, and CV axles on this car.
Mods?
This was over the course of two weeks. I hadn't been on the forum in awhile. I do have a shop with two lifts now.

I'll bet the 7317 is for a Honda.
I've heard about the wheel bearings and CV axles...
2021 Subaru Forester, about 75K on it
Out - Castrol Edge 0W-20, Subaru filter
In - Valvoline Advanced synthetic, Wix filter(eww).
I’ll stock up on a OE or PGI filter for this.

[/td]Nah, I was being sarcastic. Just the boring stock motor.
Wow that filter location looks horrible! Does the oil run down across the steering components when you remove it?
Ford put a little built-in funnel under the filter, you can see it in the lower left of this pic:
If you’re patient and sloooooooowly loosen the filter, the little funnel does its job and directs the oil neatly into the drain pan. If you’re not patient, yes it goes everywhere and creates a large mess.

Doesn't look super horrible. When you need a heat-resistant sleeve on your arm because it's next to exhaust, then it's super horrible.
2025 Honda CR-V
21,702 miles
STP syn 0W20, STP XL7317 filter
Drain plug 30 ft lbs
This one has the 1.5, which is a notorious fuel diluter, right?
What do most here who own the 1.5 Honda engine run oil wise with success besides 0W20?
