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.
Best Oil filter for Subaru Outback
If opting for third-party filters, choose high-quality brands like WIX, Purolator, or K&N, which offer reliable alternatives that match Subaru’s specifications.
I'm running a Wix XP, probably the best money could by.
Fram filters are awful.
