This is the one to use my guy. On my fxt the cartridge is slightly taller than subarus. So more filter material and its easier to take off because its longer.

Yes, it's absolutely worth it! in fact, I own one myself. I bought mine for $6,500 AUD with around 280,000 km on the odometer, and it's now at over 306,000 km and still going strong.
Use quality oil and filters, changing them often. To this end, oil pickup and baffle are sound upgrades.
Avoid the blue Subaru filters. They are Fram made with cheap components.
I changed the oil/filter at 590 miles on my 25 Forester wilderness.
Get some ramps, 17mm socket, oil (5w30 or 0w20), oil filter (Subaru p/n 15208AA170.... don't know the Toyota p/n off the top of my head)
I order the OEM Subaru filters and use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30. In your case you’d probably want to start using Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage.
Subarus are easy to work on for all the basics you’ll be doing, my only gripe on mine (08 Impreza) is the oil filter is in between the headers but I can live with that.
Subaru 15208aa170 oil filters and mobil1 5w30 EP oil. 6000 mile oci backed up by oil analysis.
Only ever use Subaru OEM oil filter on mine and penzoil platinum full synthetic
