So the time has come to change out my oil and oil filter. I make a stop at the local toyota/scion dealer to buy an OEM oil filter. Toyota charges $26, i pass this up and head over to the Subaru service department to find the same filter for about $11. Wow, looks like i'll have to do some comparative shopping when doing maintenance.

Holy, this is one time I actually see something cheaper in Canada over the US!

Here, Toyota wants $17, Subaru wants $8. Damn, it's rare that we save a buck here.

May make a bulk order of filters from Canadaaaa lol!

I purchased an oil filter for my FR-S for around $8.00 at a Toyota dealer here in Las Vegas. I did an early oil change myself.

Bonburner · 08-22-2012, 09:19 PM

I wonder if I can walk in and walk out with the oil filter and oil and do it myself instead of letting them do my oil change

I usually just go to advance auto parts and see what oil specials they have. If it's appealing, I go with that. Half the time they'll have free filters or a nice rebate. If not, local dealer hookups

So that filter fits FR-S right?

Sorry, I'm a newb in this thing and still don't have my car yet so...

Thanks!
