Review on Subaru Genuine 15208AA170 Filter Complete by Chris Long

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The only filter I would recommend for the FA20 DIT.

I really can't understand the bad reviews about a gasket not included with this filter - that's hardly a reason to downgrade the stars on the filter itself. The listing here does not include the seal that came with the filter. Come on guys, read the whole list before you get mad at him. Also, for those paying $6 for a gasket, do yourself a favor and go to a Subaru dealership and ask the clerk to buy you a pair, they don't cost $6 at the dealer. For those looking for feedback on the product itself (oil filter), I'll be happy to continue my thoughts. - I like these filters because they are direct replacements from the factory - same design, same bypass pressure, everything. - I love that these filters come in a disposable box and have shrink wrap around them to seal the insides of the filter. Cleanliness is important to us! I also really like how the o-ring is designed on this filter. It's not so tight in the groove it sits in that you can't remove it to apply a film of new oil, and the old o-ring is unlikely to come loose when you remove the old filter. - Part numbers are large and easy to read on this filter, making replacement easy. Overall, these filters are exactly what you would expect from Subaru. I had no trouble running them on my FA20. * The delivery was very quick! *
