They gave you the wrong filter. The BRZ has a specific filter no other Subaru uses anymore and is black. I doubt there is much difference but could have less filter area or a different spring bypass. The blues I get for the older subarus are much smaller diameter than the black for the brz.

Do a uoa when you change your rp!
Ok, so you used the smaller diameter and a bit taller bluish purple filter too for your change? Now I feel a bit better about using that for my change.

Yeah, I might send my RP 0w20 to Blackstone when I get around to changing out the oil/fitler again. I had the guys install a Fumoto valve during the change and should make changes a breeze. Thanks for your reply. :happy0180:
