I've taken to buying made in japan mazda rx8 filters for my 2015 impreza.
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.
I’d high recommend doing an oil change with 10w30, putting on a factory oil filter (they’re about $10 at the dealer and come with a crush washer), and seeing how it behaves then. I recommend factory filters because for some very odd reason, I had less (or no) lifter tick when I used factory filters vs. aftermarket.
That filter is just not right. Get an OEM filter. Hengst E300H D28
Mazda oil filters are good but there are aftermarket filters equal and some are better than Mazda filters. Call the independent shop and ask what oil and filter they use then research it.
Haven’t had any issues with Hengst
In my Turbo, I use what many consider the best oil for gdi engines, pennzoil ultra platinum 5w/30 with the oem mazda filter. Although some aftermarket filters have better filter media, none meet the 22 psi bypass valve specs on the turbo engine.
I went through the same thing, I believe the part number that they gave you is the made in Mexico Mazda value oil filter. It worked on my 2.5 NA. Though in my opinion, the quality of the filter is subpar compared to the OEM made in Thailand filters.
FZ is expensive, but not as expensive as a new transmission. Get the FZ.
But I've seen this too, with the genuine Hengst filters
