The oil filter we tried to get from NAPA for my buddy's '15 WRX with the 2.0 was incorrect. We tried looking it up by application, interchanging the part number from the Subaru filter, looking it up in paper catalogs, etc, but every time the filter was way too small. I'd go this route if I could since I used to work at my local NAPA and they still give me a discount on stuff, but since my FR-S basically has the same motor without the turbo/related bits, I'm assuming that the filter they try to sell me will be wrong too.

So far it hasn't been a bad decision. I definitely miss the noises and power my VR6 turbo made, but the FR-S seems like a much higher quality and more reliable car.

I'm used to that from the VW world, so that's nothing new to me and won't be hard to get used to. VW's take special everything and it was only available online or at the dealer. Special coolant, special bolts, etc...
