I ordered 11810AA100 which says its for U5.  I put my vin into the order form and they cancelled it and said I need 11810AA040.  When I searched online it said U5 is california vehicle so isn't that what I have?

According to your VIN plate you have an federal EJ253 engine, not an EJ259 california engine.

Before you order, go to your car and pinch all the hoses connecting to the pcv valve.  Chances are they're already hard and brittle, probably crack or won't seal up if you take it apart.  You might be better off ordering the pcv assembly with new hoses attached already.

By VIN, your car uses the 040. 100 is for the 3.0 and 07-09 253 (I work in parts at a Subaru dealership).

Destination code U5 is for California, even though it's a 253.

Thanks Numbchux. I see the same destination code on my neighbor's 2004 Calif OB.

Helps to know which cars to not buy up here in MT.
