Pink is faster...

Arf and I said the same thing last weekend, comparing a blueprint to an OEM filter.

I tend to buy an OEM filter if I order something else, but use a blueprint for a trackday oil change.

I use the blue print ones, not had any problems. Im sure someone will be along to say if you use any other than an sti pink then your engine will blow up and the world will end.

The subaru one has subaru printed on it, lol the blueprint ones are made to oem specs and in a lot of manufactures cases made in the same factory on the same machine just painted and labeled different lol. Even though i know this i still buy subaru as if somthing does go wrong with my engine using genuine filters etc and £50 a time oil means you've done your upmost to prevent it, if you use cheaper filters etc and it does blow you will always wonder. I get genuine filters for £10 anyway so for £4 extra worth it in my opinion. Ive always got a few genuine filters in my stock as i service mine every 3k and have customers who use me for theirs also
