With Subarus the oil filter is mounted on top of the engine.

One would need to try really hard to make a mess with that.

On my Subarus, I have installed a Fumoto valve.

I slide a plastic tube onto the valve and put the other end in my Walmart oil drain container.

A quick turn of the valve gets the hot oil flowing while I change the filter up top.

When it stops flowing I close the valve and pour in the new oil.

This results in the cleanest oil change ever!

The laconia transfer station, which I believe is in Meredith, takes my waste oil for free.
