Default Oil & Oil Filter Change

Pretty basic question here guys...

... changing the oil and oil filter at the weekend, just wondering if theres anything different I should be doing since the engine is now fully forged?

Quick breakdown would be great

Just snatched this from another thread out of the archives:

Take out sump plug (When engine is still slightly warm)
Drain all oil
Remove filter
Put sump plug back in with new plug washer
Fill the filter with oil and put that back on (Hand tight)
Pour the rest of the oil into the engine
Disconnect crank sensor and turn the engine over for approx 10secs
Re-connect crank sensor and start the engine
Finished!

Is this correct?

I watched an expert do mine yesterday and that was it but he allowed the oil to soak into the filter for a few minutes before fitting it

I did mine last weekend. I filled the filter first then screwed it back on. Disconnected crank sensor and turned over for bursts of 8 secongs about 4 times.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Its a Classic Impreza... was pretty sure this was what it still would be, just thought I'd check with it being forged now.

Cheers all!
