Beat the dealer and buy and install yourself

Easy installation, cheaper than dealer, home delivery in 2 days. How long it will last remains to be seen, but it's exactly the same as the original.

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
  • Speed

Excellent budget filter

Have ordered this filter many times. They don't seem as durable and heavy as more established brands, but they are good value for money as I replace them often anyway.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Expensive

Great price better than frame

Great filter. It catches what other filters don't and lasts longer. The frame is solid, so if you need to, you can pull your finger off, knock out what it's gripped, and stick it back in.

Pros
  • Great product
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Cheap, fits 2012 Forester

It is very easy to install, no tools required, flip the two clips over and you can remove and replace the filter. The dealer charges twice as much for the filter alone, not to mention the negligible labor. It only fits one way, so it's literally impossible to screw this up.

Pros
  • Something special about this
Cons
  • No paint required

Fits 2015 Subaru Forester and 2017 Subaru Crosstrek

Fits 2015 Subaru Forester and 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. The only thing I noticed between OEM and this one is that Potauto has more wrinkles than OEM. Specifically, it has 24 versus 15, so more filter material than the OEM.

Pros
  • Special
Cons
  • Approximately

Quality filter that does not fit

The filter material looks good, although the edge mesh fell off and I had to glue it on before installing. THE REAL PROBLEM (see image) is that the hard plastic filter frame is 1/8" deeper than the OEM. And believe me, that makes PITA difficult to install. And everyone who says it was easy, is FOS or they THINK it's installed correctly but the lower housing is probably not sealed properly.I had to remove BOTH halves of the filter housing from the car, install the filter and then reinstall the…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Angry

Best Alternative to OEM and Dealer Service

The dealer wanted me to pay almost $70 to replace the engine air filter. This filter saved me $60. Yes, you have to install it yourself, but it's so simple it's not even worth mentioning. A series of YouTube videos describing the installation process will become your "best friends". I didn't notice any difference between the original filter and this one. It fits my 2015 Subaru Crosstrek perfectly as the size is exactly the same. I truly believe this filter is the best alternative to OEM parts…

  • Sad Hardware
