The Mazda filter has a higher capacity and larger design compared to the OEM Subaru filter. So, it will hang down slightly lower than OEM. The anti-drain back pressure seems to be similar, but I have never verified myself. I ran this filter on my 2005 Impreza WRX STi for a few years.
Fleetguard have been my go to for 20+ years. The are available through our local Case IH dealer for extremely reasonable prices. And haven’t had any engines go bad
This is the one to use my guy. On my fxt the cartridge is slightly taller than subarus. So more filter material and its easier to take off because its longer.
Personally I like K&N filters, they come with a nut welded to them so you can use a normal wrench instead of a filter wrench. Gotta be careful not to over tighten them though
AcDelco filters and Mobil 1 filters are always good options to pick from. Don't get the 4 dollar Fram, please.
$49 do it yourself
Pennz ultra platinum and oem filter.
Wix probably beats oem. They a great brand.
So that DTC sets when there is an oil pressure issue originating from the oil filter up to the bank 2 VTC solenoid and actuator, using an aftermarket item could possibly lend to this issue
Fram sucks, I have always been a purolator fan or OE
Fram is garbage
