Unkown mileage or oil, off a friends 2014 Subaru Crosstrek XV. Knowing her she probably ran it for a while though, the oil was about halfway between the low and full level on the dipstick.
This filter is a bit bigger than the 15208AA12A I use on my STI, makes me wonder if I can use this one as well. Probably close to the 7317 size. Funny how the 2.5L 300+ HP engine gets a smaller filter than the 2.0L 148hp engine. The only thing I can think of is trying to keep the filter as far away as possible from the insanely hot exhaust manifold, there isn't a ton of clearance as it is. I've touched it a few times when removing the filter and it will melt my gloves in a flash. The Crosstrek had a refreshingly cool top mounted oil filter.
Put back on the same filter and Pennzoil Platinum 0w20.
Drained and filled her manual transmission and rear diff fluids as well with Castrol 75w90, I think it was the first time either has been serviced with 105,000kms on the car. There was a good amount of metal mush on the magnetic plugs.
