   I had the dealer put on a filter I could not get off in the limited   
   space under my Forester when I went to change the oil.  I made the   
   dealer take it off and replace it with my filter.  I had been screwed on   
   a 60,000 mile service where I had changed the oil a couple of months   
   before I went in and did not realize that they had done an unnecessary   
   engine flush.
