Oil filter OEM Subaru or AC DELCO
Subaru 15208aa170 oil filters and mobil1 5w30 EP oil. 6000 mile oci backed up by oil analysis.
Only ever use Subaru OEM oil filter on mine and penzoil platinum full synthetic
I have 234k miles on my 2016 Outback and I usually use Napa or O’Reilly house brand oil and either a Subaru or WIX filter.
Also get a good Putolator or Subaru brand oil filter that is rated for the higher Subaru oil pressure so that it is filtering more often and not blowing open the internal filter bypass because Clean oil will make the engine last longer.
Ac Delco is the obvious choice for oil n fuel filter
I will never use any oil filter that is not OE/OEM.
AC Delco in the D-max.
AC Delco oil filters are now all made in China (but they won't confirm nor deny this), so they have a single package for all markets they serve.
I got an ACdelco oil filter for a 07 classic GMC duramax and right before installing it I noticed the threads were stripped off and there were big chunks metal shavings clipped off inside it.
I swapped in a new Subaru OEM oil filter on my 2016 MT. After a short 1.5 miles drive, thin smoke escaped from beneath the hood, and a pool of oil gathered. Oil was literally burbling up from beneath the oil filter and spilling out. I immediately turned off the engine. I will not be using anymore of the junk OEM oil filters.
The oil on my wife’s crosstrek leaked and had to get it replaced. Guess there’s a known issue with them
