Proper SVX oil filter?
I treated myself to a drive in the SVX today, and headed for the local Subie dealership to pick up an oil filter and drain plug gasket. Keep in mind that I've been SVXless for nearly 3 years, and this is my first experience with buying an oil filter within that time frame.
"An SVX oil filter, please.", I say. What's given to me is not the 109 filter i expected. It's black and appears to actually be made in Japan. Was I given the right filter? Are the 109s no longer produced? Help me out here! Mike

Re: Proper SVX oil filter?
People seem to like the porsche 944 oil filters by Purolator. They're much bigger and are supposed to cool/filter the oil better.

Re: Proper SVX oil filter?
It sounds correct - looking through the catalog at the local auto parts store my '94 SVX has the same filter as my '93 Legacy. I bought OEM oil filters for the Legacy and they are black Nippon filters...

Re: Proper SVX oil filter?
I usually use the Purolator 30165 myself, as its a big larger than stock. I remember seeing the OE filters in white some time ago if I remember correct, and lately they are black.

I don't want to know what people think about Porsche whatever or any of that nonsense. I just simply want to know what the correct SUBARU part number is for an *SVX* oil filter. I suppose I wasn't clear enough in my original post. Mike
