Review on πŸ”§ 2011-2018 OEM Subaru Engine Oil Filter & Gasket 15208AA15A - Genuine Impreza Legacy Forester 6 PACK: High-Quality Filters for Subaru Engines by Meech Elliott

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Save me the trip to the dealer.

Care should be taken when selecting an oil filter for new vehicles using 0w20 oil. The bypass valve operates at a different pressure drop and maintains the higher oil pressure, which is critical for thinner oil. I'm not sure how aftermarket filters fit this, especially seeing the same filters from aftermarket suppliers on old and new engines. They really aren't any cheaper than what my dealer is asking for, but he's 50 miles away so it's more of a convenience for me.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Weight
