Afternoon fellow scooby people.
Just wondered where you guys get your oil filters from? Last one I bought was from Subaru and cost me over £20 which I thought was scandalous seeing as its smaller than a can of coke lol
Anyways are the "genuine" ones on ebay any good? They look the same as my one from Subaru.
Car is 2005 STI
cheers all x

 

Blueprint from the factors £3 odds!

 

Rcm or icp and make sure u get the black filter !

 

Agree + a new sump plug washer

 

Got a blue print fitted since November when i bought the car. Oil hasnt gone awol since then

 

Super duper. Thanks all for the info. Black one it is then lol
Cheers.

 

About £13 for an OEM black filter from ICP IIRC.

 

another user of the blue print filter here not much more than £3.00 from the local motor factors, been using them since the genuine Subaru filters went astronomical in price.

This makes interesting reading. Remember 99% of the time something is cheap for a reason.

 

Ah blimey dont put doubt in my mind lol

 

I've posted this before but I use the. Mazda RX8 oil filters. They are made by the same company (Toyo Roki) who make the old black Subaru filter. They make filters for Honda and (as mentioned) Mazda and are high quality.

The RX8 one has the same bypass pressure as the Subaru one too.

I'm not interested in bickering over whether a £3 filter is just as good but if, like me, you like to use higher quality service parts (which are still relatively cheap in the grand scheme of things) then the Toyo Roki RX8 filter is a good thing.

Part no. N3R1-14-302

 

is there a review anywhere for the blueprint filter.

 

* Tokyo Roki

 

didnt know about tokyo roki and the mazda one etc, good to know, but if you can, buy the old black ones, in this case only, black is best LOL ;-)
