I order the OEM Subaru filters and use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30. In your case you’d probably want to start using Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage.
Subarus are easy to work on for all the basics you’ll be doing, my only gripe on mine (08 Impreza) is the oil filter is in between the headers but I can live with that.
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.
Crushed filter seen here as well, with low oil pressure light randomly firing at idle. Factory filter is only a couple bucks more (that\u2019s what went in yesterday) - problem solved!
I Use them for 10k oil changes for my wifes jetta ...good filter.....I buy 10 at a time......
I'd just recommend getting a VW oil filter. Some of the aftermarkets are really cheap and can collapse in on themselves.
The blue Subaru filters are garbage. Made my FRAM in US. Use the black ones from Japan instead.
I worked on a 2.5L 4 cylinder Passat not too long ago and the drain plug was a nightmare to get off, the oil filter needed a special socket- it was like a 32mm internal hex- I needed to borrow from a master tech
