Oil filter Bosch or OEM Subaru

people are really set on the subaru filters as opposed to fram or others, and they’re really not very expensive so i just do it.

Yes, the Bosch 3300 is correct for your car. I just used exactly that one for my oil change a few weeks ago.

Not only is it fine, it’s widely considered the best option for the WRX. I have had multiple cars and always did my own oil changes. On my first oil change on the WRX I used my (at that time) tried and true Mobil 1 high performance oil filter and the seal blew and made a mess. Luckily I caught it before any damage was done. Since then I’ve exclusively used Subaru OEM oil filters and had zero issues.

I've been using Castrol high mileage 5w-30 lately with Bosch oil filters. I suspect I don't actually have the one I wanted, just the Bosch model fits my V. I think their premium line is supposed to be similar to the Filtech design. I added the appropriate amount of Marvel Mystery Oil to the pan about 100 miles ago. I haven't been calculating mpg, but notice the b20 engine runs smoother.

I use Mobil one and a Bosch filter on my 18 turbo. It's the same thing I use on every car I've ever owned.

I placed an order for a toolset, oil, oil filter, drain plug, and filter wrench.

Any oil filter made for the car is fine, I bought Bosch P7078 just because it's available and a brand that I recognize.

Pennzoil Ultra Platinum + Bosch 3330 @ 7500 mile interval

I use the black OEM filter and Pennzoil Ultra Platinum. The platinum and the Ultra Plat is the same formula now I’m pretty sure. I’d stick to the OEM filter too. It’s what my tuner recommends and I wouldn’t go against what he says unless it’s literally written in the stars

After much searching and reading DIY threads, I didn't see any mention of springs for the filter. Your replies confirmed it so I was confident enough to throw the Bosch setup in the trash.
