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 PP 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.
