Hey Dan,

Here's my reply to your email.....just so someone else can reference it later if need be.

No, the oil pans are the same between the turbo & non-turbos. If you buy from one of the online dealers it's going to be around $50. Here's the part # 11109AA052. It should be readily available.

I'd recommend www.subarugenuineparts.com

I had some issue with the newer designed pan. I had to bend one of the baffles, but it wasn't a big deal once I figured out which one it was. Here's some pics:

As for replacing it....You have to jack up the motor a little to get at the rear bolts on the pan. You need to remove the nuts on the motor mounts between the mounts & crossmember. Put a block of wood under the oil pan, and gently jack the engine up. Once it's up a little bit, you can put a piece of 2x4 between the crossmember & engine to keep it up so you can get the oil pan off. It's not a fun job, but sounds like you need to do it.

I just resealed mine a month ago. I chose to jack it up from the furthest front of the tranny before the crossmember to have the jack out of the way. Just remove the pinch stop and 2 nuts on the motor mounts and lift her up an inch or so. Here are pics of mine if it helps

That sounds like a better option then what I suggested

how hard was it to get to the rear bolts on the oil pan?

Same question, i never looked in that area, but my oil pan bolts are rusted out, like i was going to check the bolts because my oil pan was leaking, so i backout the screws to make sure they arent rusted, and it broke before i even backed out the bolt(guess i should get a screw remover eh?) as off right now 1 bolt is cracked off, the leaks aren't hurendous but there there, i mean when i go for a oil change im like 9/10 full, but i should look into fixing it.

I was able to remove all but a few with a Phillips screwdriver. The ones i had trouble with i just used a deepwell socket as i had enough clearance above the crossmember. PB blast them a few times before starting and it should help. The rears are a mild pain at best, you should be able to get the motor up plenty high to get at them.
Prolly a good idea to get the broken bolt out before putting the new pan on.
Oh and dont over torque them i believe the spec is something tiny like 4 ft/lbs so its very easy to strip the threads.
