   I think you can keep it within warranty by having an ASE certified shop do   
   the plug swap. Keep the paper work to back-up your service interval   
   record.   
      
   Does Subaru require you buy/use their plugs? You should be able to get a   
   waver to that from the Subaru Area Representative.
