As supplied in a certain package deal.

I have allways used a genuine subaru one but the price difference is quite tempting.

Was a bit concerned, I read on Fiat forum they have no non-return valve in??

Used one on the last service (a year ago) and have bought another for this years service.

Subaru do not manufacturer their own filters, they are made by other companies like UFI

in this case I believe the OEM Subaru ones are Puralator

don't worry what you read on a Fiat forum

On the Impreza the filter hangs vertically down so a non return valve is not needed (unless, of course, you roll the car!) I've been using them for a while and they're fine, plus they are larger than the Subaru item.

Of course it does John, that makes sense. I have ordered one anyway. I am quite lucky in that I have a Subaru garage 3 miles away. However I am not willing to pay over £7 more for essentially the same Item Just because Its branded Subaru. In the 3 years I have owned the car I have seen the genuine filters go from circa £6 To over £14. Not on IMO.
