jbordwine Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 My dealer wants $11 for an oil filter and little metal drain plug ring. Any good deals online? 2003 Forester XS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hohieu Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 You can check out http://www.1stsubaruparts.com for factory replacements. I believe Subaru oil filters are maufactured by Purolator so you could also go this route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swi66 Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I don't know if there is any significant price savings from buying them on-line as they are pretty much available anywhere, and I do not myself go for a "genuine" replacement filter. Also, shipping would add to the cost. I get mine from NAPA which are manufactured by WIX. I also have a friend who works there which will get me a case cost. A lot cheaper than $11.00 each. They also have replacement washers for the drain plug. Take your plug to correctly match the size. swi66 Do this with my "other" cars as well..................

unverviking Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 There's also eBay. There's a guy who sells Nippon Oil Filters. I have bought them before, not too bad. The filter are very solid and look to be well made. I changed the oil over a month ago in both my Sube's and the oil is still golden. I will be back to the eBay guy and buy more. Overall I spent about $20.00 for 4 filters. Not too bad, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
