Oil filter OEM Subaru or Hengst

Wait until you change the filter on a Subaru where the filter is upside down.

I do the oil every 5k on both and use liquid moly 5w40 and a hengst filter.

I use Liqui Moly Leichtlauf and Hengst filters from FCP Euro on my 1.8T Passat. Highly recommend.

I use liqui moly but I have my doubts about whether it actually is *the best* oil. I'm sure it's good, but any oil that meets the spec called out in your owners manual is "good". I place more weight on the filter than anything else. Hengst for me, get that Fram shit outta here.

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

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.

Liqui Moly Oil change 5W-40 with Hengst Filter

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.

since vw started using the synthetic material i am very fond of using oem. ive never seen the synthetic material deteriorate or crush in the housing between oil changes. ive also seen the plastic on those types of hengst filters break apart and that scares me to use.
