Best value oil filter for 337bhp classic
As the title says, i'm about to do a service on my classic and need to know what a good value filter is for it.
I've seen the K & N ones, but cant find one for a 2.0 only 2.5? are they the same?
Also seen the HKS filters but they are double the price, are they worth the £?
Any advice is appreciated

These are good and you can get them in old and new sizes.

i also use these since my local subaru dealer stopped dealing, the last one i bought was from memory just under £3.00 all in.

API, Scoobyclinic, RCM.............
This is taken from David at API on the recent oil filter debate thread!
"There is nothing wrong at all with a genuine Subaru filter. ALL of us tuners use and recommend nothing else. IN FACT, if you put anything else on an APi engine you will void the warranty. I expect RCM and Clinic will say the same.
The US forums are usually full of crap and I take no notice of them at all, ever .
The only reason Subaru [ or any makers ] filters come loose, is cos someone didn't do it up tight enough.
How many have we fitted over the years ?? Many thousands,
How many have come loose? NONE.
How many have contributed to an engine failure NONE.
QED

I've got a new blue filter here, and one coming from Davros 
Question is (queue the haters) , which oil should I be going for? The service record on the last service shows the previous owner used a 10w 60, the oilman recommends a 10w 50 but several Legacy/Impreza owners I know use a Syner G 5w 40.
My car spends a lot of time doing short journeys but I do like to have a play every now and then when warmed up. I'm doing the Nurburgring in June and 1 other track day this summer so any advice would be appreciated. I have a MY00, 337bhp (run for 20k miles) and 116,000 on the clock.
