I purchased a 1998 Subaru Sambar truck from Japan. It should arrive in about two weeks time. Thank you for posting this video, will be very helpful. I have subbed to keep in touch.
3:09 time mark _ jack supporting truck. It's general practice to use jacks for lifting the vehicle and to use a jack stand for supporting the vehicle while doing the actual maintenance work. This is because of the risk of the jack slipping. In this particular instance, where you are working from the side, the risk is fairly low. Nonetheless, I would suggest that it's a good habit to use a stand whenever possible. 3:58 time mark _ oil filter wrench. Accessibility from the bottom, makes using a standard oil filter wrench easier than your method ... usually. However, if the oil filter is jammed on, difficult to remove, or corroded (which might often be the case the first time you attempt an oil filter change), then your tool would be a godsend. 4:18 time mark _ reinstalling the oil drain plug. You didn't show the reinstallation. One of the points DIYers miss is failing to use new crush washers when they reinstall the oil drain plug. The washers are intended for one time use only and old ones should be discarded. (Note: If you missed this when doing your oil change because there was no washer when you removed the oil drain plug, you're not alone. It's not uncommon for previous owners to fail in replacing them when doing an oil change.)

Great video, man! Such a cool vehicle!
Very cool thanks for the video. Very informative.
I'm curious to know how you were able to cross reference to k&n filter I just received my Mazda scrum truck and can't find the type of filter it takes
