hot tip: get a proper 8mm hex drive to fit a 1/2" drive socket, it will be bloody tight as, trying to get it off with just an allen key will lead to fail ;)

Safest way...Buy the Subaru oil gallery adapter:

It's about $15 from your local dealer

Done & done & no oil leakage fire hazard.[/QUOTE]

This should be moved to the mechanic DIY section and stickied. Great post Rosco!

It's the same deal, exactly the same.

P.s I can't take the credit for those photo's/step by step, I 'borrowed' them.

I did this to my car when I fitted my Defi's a year or so ago.

as an ej205 or an oil temp sensor?

All EJ20 crankcases regardless of year have the same blanked off oil gallery & plug.
