Oil filter for 2005 6 cyl outback?


Recommended Posts

The origional filter on the car is always black and seems a little smaller than the one you will replace it with. I just did my first change on my new OBS and this was the case. BTW, do not tighten the new one as much as the origional one....your knuckles will thank you.

 

As for part #'s go to ebay and do a search....there was a guy selling oem filters from a dealer down south...I believe he listed a PN with the auction.

allsubaru.com states it is PN SOA5165109

 

What I was stating before is most likely the filter on the car now is black but if the new one is white that is OK as long as you bought it for an H6 (6 cyl) car you won't have a problem.

Thanks for the part number! It's a match. I wouldn't have had a problem if the Manual didn't mention the black vs white filters. And I couldn't call them back to double check until Monday. Again, Thanks for the help.
