Oil filter OEM Subaru or Mobil
Get some ramps, 17mm socket, oil (5w30 or 0w20), oil filter (Subaru p/n 15208AA170.... don't know the Toyota p/n off the top of my head)
Im using mobil 1 extended performance with the factory oil filter...so far so good.
I use 5w30 mobil 1 and mobil 1 filter thats guaranteed to 20k miles, and I change it at around 10k. No noises, runs great. Done 34k miles in 7 months.
Usually I get them in bulk from the dealership. Are cheaper when comparing with the aftermarket and are very good OEM filters. When I don't have one available, I use Mobil 1 M-108A and I get it from Walmart when I get the oil.
Currently running a mobil1 oil filter since they have good filtration for reasonably good flow.
After watching some tests videos on YouTube, looks like mobile 1 filters had the best filter capabilities. So I’ve been using that for years now.
Been driving STIs reliably for 20 years, and I never use oem.\n\nI use Mobil (M1-110, the longer one), or Wix.
If you're going to track it, get wider 200 tread wear tires, swap the brake fluid for motul 600, get some track brake pads, and use 5W30 Pennzoil ultra platinum oil.
I have switched back and forth between Toyota 0W-16 with a Toyota oil filter and Mobil 1 0W-16 with a Mobil 1 oil filter. I have noticed no difference in performance, fuel mileage or metal wear between the two oils.
Avoid the blue Subaru filters. They are Fram made with cheap components.
