Oil Filter Question
I'm tad curious, I currently have a 2015 FRS. Prior to posting this I did my search and did not yielded any results too my inquiry, so don't bash me on if I missed something.
Some people are saying to use Subaru OEM Oil Filters, (smaller/taller once) meanwhile others are saying to use Toyota OEM Oil Filters. I recently picked up (2) Toyota OEM Filters, Part #: 90915-YZZS1 And now with tad bit more reading, I'm wondering if the Toyota OEM filter is just as good as the Subaru OEM filter, or should I get the Subaru OEM filters next time? I mean it's just an OEM filter, this isn't K&M or HKS $40+ filter. |

Subaru motor so I'd use a Subaru filter. Either way you're not going wrong.

You're thinking too hard about oil filters. Both are fine.

I had asked the same question before. Check out my thread here. There definitely is a difference

Id say you are splitting hairs picking between them, both OEM filters are good quality. Stay away from the orange can of death and you are fine.
I run amsoil EA15K20-EA. |

If you have so much crap in your oil that one filter is better than another then you have bigger issues.

When I get them from Subaru they ask my VIN # because there are different filters for different build periods. The difference in the filters are related to valving and flow rates. I don't know if Toyota breaks it down that way.

No. You just walk in, explain you have a FRS + Year and here is your filter. No VIN has ever been asked of me.
