Default Which oil filter?

Ok so I've not had a subaru for 2 years and I want to change the oil myself this time round......I remember them being black

I came across these on ebay an just wondered if Subaru changed the colour of the filter or are these just cheap imitations?

Use genuine black filter or a Blueprint one.

The blue ones are absolutely fine, I use them on both our cars.

I stick to Blueprint as they are manufactured in Japan and have a metal mesh inside as opposed to the paper mesh Subaru use.

Hope you find the links useful
