Oil filter OEM Subaru or OEM FORD

Get some ramps, 17mm socket, oil (5w30 or 0w20), oil filter (Subaru p/n 15208AA170.... don't know the Toyota p/n off the top of my head)

I order the OEM Subaru filters and use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30. In your case you’d probably want to start using Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage.

OEM ford filter will be better then you will get at most oil changes spots and the same if you pay the dealership

Subarus are easy to work on for all the basics you’ll be doing, my only gripe on mine (08 Impreza) is the oil filter is in between the headers but I can live with that.

I was having the same noise on cold startup with an aftermarket filter and switched back to the fomoco filter and it went away. Something to do with a drain valve in the filter. The ford one is silicone and some of the aftermarket ones arent and it can cause problems.

Subaru 15208aa170 oil filters and mobil1 5w30 EP oil. 6000 mile oci backed up by oil analysis.

I personally use the Ford motorcraft OEM filters in the largest size that fits cleanly with a similar bypass pressure.

Ford Oil filter is less than 50 AED. No clue what's the difference between the one branded as FORD vs MOTORCRAFT, but hey - you can even get a sport oil filter from K&N for around 60 AED... damn marketing.

Avoid the blue Subaru filters. They are Fram made with cheap components.

I double gasketed some dude\u2019s oil filter on his Crown Vic and got to enjoy the new experience of swinging an engine into that car for free
