Oil filter OEM Subaru or AC DELCO

OEM Subaru Oil filter

Also get a good Putolator or Subaru brand oil filter that is rated for the higher Subaru oil pressure so that it is filtering more often and not blowing open the internal filter bypass because Clean oil will make the engine last longer.

Pros: clean oil, engine longer
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 5000 km

AC DELCO Oil filter

I got an ACdelco oil filter for a 07 classic GMC duramax and right before installing it I noticed the threads were stripped off and there were big chunks metal shavings clipped off inside it.

Pros: null
Cons: stripped threads, metal shavings

I swapped in a new Subaru OEM oil filter on my 2016 MT. After a short 1.5 miles drive, thin smoke escaped from beneath the hood, and a pool of oil gathered. Oil was literally burbling up from beneath the oil filter and spilling out. I immediately turned off the engine. I will not be using anymore of the junk OEM oil filters.

Cons: catastrophic oil leak, filter failure
Vehicle: Subaru
