Vehicle fitment, specifications & installation

What to verify

  • Exact engine, VIN, and filter reference family
  • Spin-on versus cartridge configuration, thread or cap, gasket, and bypass requirements
  • Package quantity and whether the cartridge kit includes the required O-ring or drain-plug washer

Installation guidance

Follow the vehicle service procedure, verify the old gasket comes off with a spin-on filter, lightly oil the new seal, and tighten only to the published specification. For a cartridge filter, replace the cap O-ring in its correct groove and use the specified cap torque. Refill with the correct oil quantity, start the engine, and inspect for leaks.

Excludes: turbo engines and any application calling for a different Subaru filter. Match the exact engine, filter reference, configuration, gasket or O-ring, and package quantity before ordering.

Can different engines in the same model year use different oil filters?

Yes. Engine family, production date, hybrid or diesel equipment, and filter-housing design can change the correct reference. Match the saved engine and confirm it by VIN or the removed filter.

Are cartridge and spin-on oil filters interchangeable?

Does the listing contain one filter?

Not always. Some saved listings are multipacks or service kits. Read the package-contents line before ordering.
