Guys where is a good place to buy a decent oil filter from? Have herd there was a faulty batch that went out a while ago too.

Also I want to change my oil preferably before I fit my practically brand new turbo, os it ok if I just change the oil whilst cold? As I normally run the engine first for about 10min, but dont really want the old oil circulating through the turbo..

+1 on the RCM filters with Millers 10/60 and warm up to get the old oil out, IMO I would run for a few minutes at least, but your call.

I have run a few Subaru's over the last 4 years and all have had the Millers treatment

Cheers bud, i already have the oil (Millers 10w 50) I too have been using them for the past 6/7 years. Only needed to know where to buy a decent oil filter from.

I was on the understanding that the OEM Subaru 'black', made in Japan oil filters.. (for the 3.0 I think)
Were of a much higher quality than the blue (FIAM?) made in Canada filters.

As above, make sure it is the black filter. RCM do them. Or try ebay!

quick search in my records indicates that
15208aa031
is the black oil filter designed for the for 6cyl engines... but works perfectly with my 2.0 bug wrx.

oil will still come out cold you will just have to drain it longer with the sump plug out

i just use the k&n oil filters - big nut on the bottom makes easy removal of old ones!

HP-1008 for smaller newage filter
HP-1015 for larger classic filter

I use a Mazda rx8 filter. It's made by the same manufacturer as the black Impreza one, has the same bypass pressure and is slightly larger capacity.

If you're interested the Mazda part number is N3R1-14-302
