lhrocker Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I just got my first "free oil change for life" from my dealer on my 2003 Legacy. On the workorder, they charged me 1 oil filter and 1 gasket - oil and labor was free. Doesn't the gasket normally come with the OEM filter?

Commuter Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 The "gasket" would be for the oil pan drain plug, commonly referred to as a drain plug washer. The oil filter has its gasket built in. Commuter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron917 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Does the same hold true for the Spin On Transmission filter? Yes. Even though the parts guy at the Subaru dealer insisted that the gasket he sold me was for the filter, it was clearly the drain plug washer. BTW, it is the same drain plug washer as for the engine oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerFahrer Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 BTW, it is the same drain plug washer as for the engine oil. Only on automatics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron917 Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Only on automatics. True, dat. However, automatic was implied because he asked about the spin-on filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
