Swapping the plugs is a bitch of a job... at least compared to other cars. You'll have to take the battery, intake, and washer fluid tank out, then use a ratchet w/ like 9 extensions and a spark plug socket on it to get the plugs out. It's a real PITA for what's a 10 second job on most other cars. If the plugs really need to be swapped at less than 36,000 miles, let Subaru do it. Plus, if they cross thread something (which isn't that hard to do w/ the soft aluminum heads and all those extensions) they'll be responsible for replacing the heads, and not you.
