I need to pick up an air filter

I got a slot at the car doctor's saturday. No time to order stock air filter.

I can pick up "any one" in any car store but OEM is better. Is it the same filter used in Impreza, Legacy, Forester, Outback? 16546AA020

Re: I need to pick up an air filter

There's nothing special about the air filter in the SVX, any generic part store should be able to sell you one. I believe the SVX even shares its filter dimensions with some other Subarus, I recall mention of the STi filter being used.

Re: I need to pick up an air filter

Just looked up a local pusher, he sells two filters:

16546AA020 <-- Opposedforces.com says this is the one

16546AA070 <-- Twice the price.. what is it?

Most 90's Outbacks, Imprezas, Legacys are all the same as the SVX. Also late model Infinity, Nissan. It's a very common filter.

16546AA020 is correct. Same filter as most of the turbo Imprezas/Foresters. It's a pretty universal design.

The AA070 is a slightly longer version, for different vehicle applications.

Re: I need to pick up an air filter

I went with a afe Dry S air filter.
I don't like oil types, because they coat every thing in oil then it get dirty defeating the purpose I think.
I am not saying there better than the cheap paper ones it just make me sleep better at night.
