hi guys i have all the bits and pieces for a service ,4 long plugs ,oil filter ,semi synth oil ,air filter
now im kinda shitting it im not to bad with a spanner but i havent serviced one of these before so

1 where is the oil filter located.
2 do i have to take the battery washer bottle and air box out to get to the plugs ,do i have to do anything with engine mounts
3.changing the brake fluid is it as simple as using a one man bleed kit and just keep pushing the pedal and topping up the reservoir untill it is lovely and clean
4 the air filter seames easy enough

i just dont want to start this and then find i made a mistake or could have saved myself halve a day doing it the right way so if any of you have owned a jdm 2005 legacy turbo single turbo and serviced it please tell me everything you know ,regards john
 
Should be using full synthetic oil.

You'll see the filter as soon as you get under. Make sure new filter came with new crush ring for the drain plug.

Plugs can be a pig. Small hands and might have a bit of jiggery with lifting the engine from underneath but not needed if you've the right tools. Taking the battery and washer bottle out makes life easier alright.

Brakes if you have a self bleed kit or another person to help. Start with the wheel furthest from the reservoir. Don't let the reservoir go below min. Small tube on top of the bleed nipple and measure in to a bottle how much you're taking out.
 
Cy3 is a tight job on them


Oil Subaru are using 5/30 semi on them


We recommend 10/40 Motul fully

Thank you very much for all the advice lads
I have a good idea of what to do now that cylinder 3 has me a bit worried but as long as I just take my time and stop for a Bruce Lee halve way through should be fine
Thanks again
