I don't think I'd say that Tokyo Roki > Mobil 1. They're comparable in terms of build quality, it's just that the OEM filter is better suited to this particular application. |

I just got off the phone with Purolator. The stock Subaru filter crosses to a L14459 or PL14459. These have a 12-18lb bypass which might not be high enough unless the Purolator has about twice the media surface area. I think I might switch to these regardless as I've heard a lot of bad things about the new Subaru blue filters.

Sweet! That means the same filters I use on the CL will work on the FR-S.

This may not apply to really anyone here. But on the subaru's some have to run the smaller filter as their turbo set ups get in the way. Like mine. I run the FullRace twinscroll and I have to run the smaller filters.

He's still covered. Warranties cannot be voided for maintenance items that aren't OEM unless the dealer/car marker provides them to customers for free. That's why you can use any oil that you want or any filter that you want.

I can tell you right now if you have a oil related engine failure. And it doesn't have a oem oil filter. The factory rep is going to tell you to piss off. |

Once again. Please use your own words and place your links to back yourself. Side note. Why does everyone have a hard on for not using OEM oil filter. The engine oil system was designed to use it. If Subaru could make a cheaper filter that did the same job do you think they would do it? Of course they would. That is more money in their pocket. |

the magnuson-moss act isnt an internet thing, its a real US Federal Law.
I will direct quote from the Magnuson-Moss Act: "Warrantors cannot require that only branded parts be used with the product in order to retain the warranty. This is commonly referred to as the "tie-in sales" provisions, and is frequently mentioned in the context of third-party computer parts, such as memory and hard drives." Full-text for those that choose to educate themselves prior to buying a new or certified-pre-owned car: http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bu...#Magnuson-Moss |
