Richard1296 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 What is everyone using for the spin on replaceable transmission filter on a 2000 Impreza OBS. A part number would be nice and a FRAM would be my last choice. I found Wix and Purolator part numbers, anyone try them ? Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Hi Richard, I put an amsoil eao36 on my '00OBW, it's a lot longer than the stock filter (but you have to tighten it on quite a bit.) The thread size and pitch is the same as the engine oil filter (as I use the eao36 as my engine oil filter too ) I chopped open the OE ATF filter that was on there and it looked like a regular oil filter to me, but maybe it's more of a hydraulic filter without a bypass. Yah, I'd avoid the fram too; Wix makes some nice filters and I wouldn't hesitate to use it (or I think Carquest and Napa Gold are actually Wix too). The $25 for a new OE filter seems a little excessive, but since it's a 'replace only if dented or leaking' part then maybe that's why.

Snowman Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I've put a WIX unit on a friend's car it seems to have worked fine for a year and a half now. Oh how I wish the older cars had a spin-on tranny filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
