Cut open the factory filter
Also, Fram doesn't make a Subaru-spec filter for your Crosstrek
Should've gone with the Wix XP

SHORTEST. WARRANTY. EVER !
Subaru dealers can be less than friendly about engine issues and after market parts ... too many blown up WRX's over the years !
While under warranty, I always used oem filters. CYA !

sorry not true and actually against the law. No dealer gives a rip what oil filter you use.

That bypass requirement means zero. My first subaru had the same retirement. None of the filters I used met that retirement. 200K miles later..no problems.

Not true. They want you to use what they sell at a high mark up. They care about profit.
I know a few dealerships which aggressively push a high price aftermarket filter, instead of the OEM.

Problem is, with the upside down positioning, you can't pre-load the filter with oil, getting a longer dry-start period.
No problem,just flip the car on its side lol.

I am very sorry to hear that your insurance went up, your dog left you, and your now suffering from ED. But perhaps if you switched filter brands, the dog might return ! Sorry I cannot help with the other problems. /s

OK, I'll take that as an invite and post my first thought when I saw this posted yesterday...…..Whatever blows your hair back!...…... Assuming you still have some.
Probably not something I'd do at 100 miles, but to each their own. Filter is located in an easily accessible location and orientation for change, so that makes it more understandable.
As for the thick skin, Gold Bond advertises lotions and creams for all types of skin issues, perhaps give one or more of them a try.
