Trevor, you advise against using Subaru's filter kit? Sorry, I am going with the guys that built the car on this one. Its not a problem with the filter, its basic maintenance that was an issue. This car has been setting since at least Aug of last yr.
Subarus are very common in thus part of the world. Many transmission specialists remove external filters as a matter of course, when doing a rebuild, because blocked filters have so often been the cause of major problems. They also do so when fitting an auxiliary cooler to taxis etc.

When I had my cooler fitted, I also asked for a filter as was advised within this site. I was told not to fit one, even though this would have provided the shop with more money for the job. I accepted the advice.
