Got oil picked out, but can't figure out which oil filter to use. 500 articles, 500 answers, none match.

What do you faggots use?

Filter in the top

My Subaru has a vertical mounted filter, is that what you mean?

Yes, it's a Subaru. If you're changing the oil on a Subaru, then use an OEM filter. The aftermarket stuff is trash.

You can buy them by the case (12) for about $100 from online Subaru parts dealers, and they usually come with the crush washer for the drain plug. Make sure to use a new one each time on that as well.

Funny too, I remember when I worked at Subaru the old folks would come in and do exactly what you said, buying cases of filter and occasionally oil at a time.

There's no real reason not to. If nothing else, then for the washers.

I do the same thing with filters for my Focus. Just buy a case of them at a time and be done with it, unless Advance Auto has their "5 quart + Filter" special on the Motorcraft stuff, then I'll usually pick up a couple of those.
