By iyamdman July 15, in Fourth Generation Legacy - Seems like a sure bet is the stock filter, but I also read that you can get a slightly longer filter - which migh be better.

Let's hear from all the naysayers and bypass valve worriers To me this proves that the filter flows well enough to not open the 13 psi bypass, yet is very efficient at filtering out contaminants and this was with cheap Costco oil. I haven't done any sort of testing so this is all pretty much my own opinion. I watched a video with them cutting open the Subaru filter - looks like the Fram. They all have that same bypass pressure and very similar filter media surface area as the 15A. Sign up. The Forester used the and then Subaru switched to the 15A to save cost. JavaScript is disabled.
