Just got a new element part no.15208 AA024. On the box it says, "vehicle: legacy; type: sedan/wagon" and that's it. Is this the correct fitment for an impreza turbo?

I recently bought a filter from a main dealer and that also said legacy on the box. The parts person said that this was OK for the impreza as all the subaru oil filters are the same.

A certain renowned mechanic of southern fame has had no engine blow ups using OEM Subaru filters, all the blow ups have come from non Subaru Genuine Filters, for such a cheap part I wouldn't use anything else.

1) Because Subaru are rip merchants who want to charge £12 for a part which probably costs less than £1
2) The *******s always ask for a chassis number despite the fact that all EJ20 engines use the same part. (I have a Jap WRX, so they will not sell me a filter, their loss).
3) The Champion filters are made in Germany the Subaru ones are made in USA. I know which I would use if the words on the outside were the same.
