Oil filter OEM Subaru or AC DELCO

Get the afm tuned out. And use ONLY full synthetic oil and a ac Delco filter. Mine has 232,000 and has been super reliable and still runs like new

7 Qts. Mobil-1 5W-30 Standard Full Synthetic, 500 mL bottle Rislone Engine Treatment, ACDelco PF61E. That's what I've used for all of my oil changes I've done on my 2008 and I've had absolutely no problems.

OEM AC Delco

This is the one to use my guy. On my fxt the cartridge is slightly taller than subarus. So more filter material and its easier to take off because its longer.

Yes, it's absolutely worth it! in fact, I own one myself. I bought mine for $6,500 AUD with around 280,000 km on the odometer, and it's now at over 306,000 km and still going strong.

Use quality oil and filters, changing them often. To this end, oil pickup and baffle are sound upgrades.

Switched between fram and ac delco. Sticking to ac delco due to a tsb. Oil pressure issues.

Avoid the blue Subaru filters. They are Fram made with cheap components.

Ac delco/delphi quality has been getting really bad. There’s a cheaper line of products that are all Chinese and then a higher level. I stopped using their oil filters when the threads were completely off for my 3800.

I changed the oil with an AC Delco PF66 filter. Turned on the car and it instantly started spewing oil. Immediately turned it off. Oil sprayed through the cracks in front grill/bumper panel on passenger side.
