🔧 Enhance Performance and Protect Your Subaru with FRAM Extra Guard Air Filter, CA9113 Review

Have used this make and model for many years. Purchasing through Revain - Eliminates purchasing hassles and allows you to schedule maintenance in advance.

Not easy to install on my wife's Subaru but it's not good on Subaru even though I saved $12 because top cars sell worse ones at $23! Rip off! Go raven!

It looks like a good basic disposable filter. I see other people had trouble getting them in place but not me. It fits my 2006 Subaru Baja perfectly. I gave it 4 stars because my original part had a rigid frame and it was soft foam. This was normal for my car, but in some cars it can be difficult to get seated properly. - rat.

Yes, great. but it is not a ribbed frame and cannot be easily inserted like the original OEM filter. You need to "refuel" a little in the airbox. FRAM could shorten the orange rubber pad a bit. Otherwise it still fits snugly to the front of the airbox.

This is a paper filter as opposed to other higher quality felt filters. They literally cost a few dollars more.

There are many negative reviews that made me very skeptical about buying this filter for my Subaru Forester xs 04 but I am very satisfied. It was the right size and as pictured; contrary to other recent comments stating it is without wire mesh. To be clear, this isn't a top-of-the-line filter, but I was pleasantly surprised that it turned out to be better than I thought it would be. I have been using Fram products for a long time and keep coming back to them and after purchasing this filter I…

The last Fram CA9113 I received from Revain (March 2015) did not have a metal frame and was definitely not rigid. They used to get rid of the screen, and now they're getting rid of the frame, so everything is fine. It's basically paper glued directly to a rubber backing, which is everything these days. I've included a few photos of the new one for comparison to others' photos of the previous, more robust build. At the moment there is nothing that makes the Fram stand out at all, so if the price
