The Subaru factory filter is made by Purolator and HAS a anti-drainback valve as also does the PureOne. The Premium plus 14460 however does not have the ADBV.

 

Having said that, the non-valved filter is the one I use. In fact, if you live near a Pep-Boyz, you can get it for even a buck cheaper as the house brand "Pro-Line PPL-14460".

From what I've been able to tell (I've cut a few different filters open), the Subaru-Purolator filter is pretty much a Premium plus.

 

The PureONE has a different filtering media. The 'microfibers', greater number of pleats, etc. With some of the stuff I've read on filtering, the particle size that causes the most wear, the fact that many filters barely capture this particle size, etc... I think the oil filter is more important than we realize. The PureONE strikes me as a very good, readily available filter. If you buy 6 or 12 (a case), you can get a good discount. Just haggle.
