Default Black oil filters

Hey guys,
i know Subaru switches from the old black filters to the smaller ones years back, but after seeing the black ones still available on eBay iv just bought ones of these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/350575434365 from import car parts. It's black but I seem to remember them being bigger, as this looks more or less the same size as the blue ones? Or has it just been that long seen Iv seen one of the old ones!

Import car parts are all good quality products if not genuine and a lot cheaper if you go in there website or you can ring them directly
Nothing to worry about at all dude

Cheers guys.
Yeh Iv used ICP plenty of times before and trust them completely, was just more surprised to see the black filter the new smaller size and was concerned I'd maybe bought the wrong filter (my03 blob WRX) as I'd only ever seen the black ones being bigger!

There have been two incarnations of the black oil filter

The early 15208AA080



and the current 15208AA100 (slightly smaller for clearance with equal length headers)



Plus the blue "made in canada" one
