It should be cheaper...and I know for a fact, that dealers have these in stock...always.. because they share that filter with other Subaru models...Be careful with aftermarket filters, because there is a pressure relief Valve inside the Subaru Filter...some aftermarket filters don't have this feature and could leak or split on you...only seen it once...but just words to the wise.. Even after some VERY heavily modded cars that I have seen...most prefer the stock oil filter..

Hey Bill! Any insight on how to read the dang oil dipstick??
Thing is driving me nuts! No matter how I insert/pull the thing, I still get a very high reading on one side and a lower reading on the other....
I guess this is a Subaru thing, but as I want to keep my eye on the oil level, its driving me nuts!!
