Oil filter Mann or OEM Subaru

Oil Filters, I always use OEM Subaru oil filters, I just buy the bulk 12 pack from my dealer.

this picture is an OEM [MANN] oil filter that is 2k past due on the oil service. Again, the advantage of paper filters is that I can see every single one and determine which seems to hold up and which do not. I do not cut open the metal canister versions unless I am looking for something [aka diagnosis]. Some of the really cheap ones will break apart when you take them out of the housing. They literally break apart in your hands. This filter is not collapsed like the Wix version.

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.

As Epic said, ive run Mann filters on my 944.

Mann W71922 is a perfectly good filter and readily available, and the Mahle OC46 for the 928 will fit a 944, it's just taller. Also should be readily available.

If zero rust, go for it. Mann, Mahle, or Kayser filter.

Used some Rowe VW 508/509.00 0W20 oil plus Mann filter.

I use 10W/60 and change it out ever 5k. I also use MANN W 719/30 oil filters. They are designed for synthetic oils and longer oil changes.

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.

changed my oil filter that apparently collapsed with a Mann brand and it definitely worked after a month later with no light the darn oil light came back I just redid my filter and oil but it came back getting on the freeway
