Oil filter OEM Subaru or Mobil
DYI. Kirkland synthetic for $18 per 5 quart jug and $12 for a Mobil 1 filter.
Are you opposed to doing it yourself ? Reason I ask is because imo it’s the way to go. You can save $25+ and buy decent oil/filter. I’m at $47 with Mobil 1 oil and filter from Walmart.
I run Mobil 1 5W-30 Extended Performance (high mileage oil, 75k+), and currently Wix XP oil filter. Car runs great at 67k miles and I have 0 codes.
Valvoline Extended Performance full synthetic 0W20 and Mobil 1 M1-108 filter every 5,000 miles.
I've used various Mobil1 oil, but usually use the kind in OPs pic. Every other oil change I change my oil filter. I use a Mobil1 110A (I think) which is a larger filter than OEM. I've done this for about 30k miles, and have not noticed any ill effects.
I run the same one and a mobil 1 filter. 48k miles in my 19’ premium. No issues.
I have the same car. I always use 0w-20 (any brand really) at ~7.5k miles. I usually use Mobil-1 oil filter (M1-108A)
911 here but reading this makes me cringe. 8 quarts of mobil 1 and a filter is $60-70. Takes less than 15 minutes to do.
Mobil 1 Extended Performance M1C-451 Plastic end caps (blue). Maybe viton seals on the filter? Says product of USA Rated up to 15,000 miles... which sounds worse than the stock filter (30,000 km...)
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.
