If you go aftermarket get WIX brand filters. I use their oil, air, and cabin filters. All of them are as good or better than OEM
Agree about the WIX filter, has better end caps on the filter vs the oem filter that you just press the oil line tube ends into it, not a great design imo.
Penzoil Ultra Platinum w/ Wix filter
That OEM filter is probably made at the same factory as an off the shelf filter from pretty much any automotive parts store. Hell, I'm doing an oil change tomorrow and I'm going to get a Wix 57002 and some Pennzoil.
Have always used WIX since new for both oil and fuel. No issues in my 2016.
I use wix they work fine
I changed the oil/filter at 590 miles on my 25 Forester wilderness.
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)
I think WIX changed their manufacturing process because the one I bought appears to be plastic tack'd to the main housing now, and the ring breaks off when taking the old filter off.
Avoid the blue Subaru filters. They are Fram made with cheap components.
