Oil Filters, I always use OEM Subaru oil filters, I just buy the bulk 12 pack from my dealer.
people are really set on the subaru filters as opposed to fram or others, and they’re really not very expensive so i just do it.
Not only is it fine, it’s widely considered the best option for the WRX. I have had multiple cars and always did my own oil changes. On my first oil change on the WRX I used my (at that time) tried and true Mobil 1 high performance oil filter and the seal blew and made a mess. Luckily I caught it before any damage was done. Since then I’ve exclusively used Subaru OEM oil filters and had zero issues.
6 quarts of Castrol edge full synthetic 5w30 and Motorcraft fl400s
Make sure you get an oil that is dexos gen 2
I WAS using Subscribe and Save for Amazon Full Synthetic 5W-30 and Motorcraft FL-910S Filters, but they keep running out of stock
if you use the Ford/Motor raft FL400S, you can put all 6 qts in. Our engines benefit in some way or another from the bit of extra oil, iirc. Makes it easier than measuring out to get to the 5. whatever the stock filter size is
I use the black OEM filter and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. The platinum and the Ultra Plat is the same formula now I’m pretty sure. I’d stick to the OEM filter too. It’s what my tuner recommends and I wouldn’t go against what he says unless it’s literally written in the stars
I've used the spec Motorcraft filter (820S), and Motorcraft 5w20 synthetic oil EVERY TIME. This truck has been an absolute beast, and dead nuts reliable.
Motorcraft are good. Mobil1 Filters are very good, and are a great idea if your going to for long OCI's. I've used filters from Baldwin - they got very good reviews on the cut-apart tests - and I have a place where I can order a half dozen at a time for less than what I pay for Frams at Walmart. I am using Motorcraft on my F250
The oil on my wife’s crosstrek leaked and had to get it replaced. Guess there’s a known issue with them
