Hey guy went to halfords today to get oil and a filter, they tell me that they do not stock the filter for my 1997 V4 sti, im sure i have got one from here before??? does any one have a part number or another model that will be the same. Im doing the oil change tomorrow and gonna be stuck without one!

Halfords dont know they sell car parts sometimes they never know anything. What ive found is just tell them its a uk car. if it doesnt show on their computer (import) they dont have a clue . They wont have a performance filter tho

The current filter is a tiny thing. The larger filter was used up until around '03/'04 then (I assume to simply save costs?) they went to the small version. Many aftermarket filters are of the larger capacity. I use UFI filters from Opie Oils which are larger than the miniscule Subaru offering and work fine.

PS Don't forget to pre-fill the filter before fitting!
