Oil filter OEM Subaru or OEM Toyota

I've changed the oil on my Prius over 30 times and never had an issue with my plastic canister. Use the proper tools and you won't have issues.

Always use a Toyota oil filter.

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.

For all my Toyotas, I just buy the OEM Toyota filters bc they’ve got them at basically any Walmart, don’t even have to go to the dealership for them. I’ve opened those up too and they’re way better quality.

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 overjoyed when I saw that a toyota-branded oil filter was a touch over $5 vs $25 for the an oil filter for the 997.

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

I don't believe in trans flushes, nor do the experienced techs I talk to. They just push debris into places it's not supposed to be. Just do a drain and refill (with a new filter, if there's a replaceable filter). I've been doing a drain and refill every 30k on my Tacoma since I bought it with 76k miles - just rolled over 150k. Had my guy drop the pan and clean the screen and magnets on the last one and he said everything looked fantastic inside, no major debris, magnets were fairly clean.

I tend to lean dealership if I don't do it myself. I have gone a couple of those places before and I damn near have to break out the screw driver to get the oil filter off.

The blue Subaru filters are garbage. Made my FRAM in US. Use the black ones from Japan instead.
