billyfrank Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I have done a search and I am not having much luck. The auto parts guys(rocket scientists that they are) can't find the part # for the external trans filter for my 99 OBW. So without having to pull it off and match it up, does anyone have this part # in anything but Fram? Thanks for your time, Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Hi billyfrank. If you go to http://www.wixfilters.com you can get the Wix part #, also available at Napa as Napa gold and at Carquest and some other places. The filter thread size and pitch are the same as the engine oil filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartless Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 The filter thread size and pitch are the same as the engine oil filter. would this hold true for the 1990 external tranny filters as well?? Have a 90 LS wagon with the external tranny filter and would LOVE to give it a fluid & filter change but have not been able to find any part info....filter itself is in pretty rough shape so no numbers to be seen there.

porcupine73 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 would this hold true for the 1990 external tranny filters as well?? No, that is only for the phase II 4EAT that has the spin on filter on the side of the trans case (or for H6 models remote mounted in the LH fender). Your '90 filter is more of a fuel filter looking item with hose barb connections.

billyfrank Posted November 8, 2007 Author Share Posted November 8, 2007 Thanks for the info. Mobil1 catalog listed 2 filters in there book so it is probably one of those. Also if the thread and pitch is the same i guess a regular oil filter can be used. OB99W- thanks for the oem # as the parts guy at my dealership tried to give me the internal and had no idea what i was talking about. I could no longer read the # as the cv joint had given up a boot some time ago and the filter is illegible. Thanks again, Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine73 Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 Cool. Do you think those filters are the same as the fuel filter just without the hose barbs bent? They look very similar anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB99W Posted November 8, 2007 Share Posted November 8, 2007 [...]Also if the thread and pitch is the same i guess a regular oil filter can be used.[...]There's a reason for the substantial difference in price between engine oil filters and the trans filter (see http://www.subaruparts.com/catalog/?section=964). I'd sooner leave an old trans filter in place if it isn't damaged than use an engine filter. OB99W- thanks for the oem #[...]You're welcome.
