Subaru Engine Oil Filter & Crush Washer Kit (1, 2, 3, 6, 12 pks available) Outback Legacy Impreza Forester XV Crosstrek Ascent 15208AA21A 803916010 (1 Pack)

Perfect form, fit, and function for 2021 Subaru Forester Premium. Buy through Amazon at better overall cost (including taxes and shipping) than elsewhere, and have never had any issues with packaging/delivery or with damaged or missing contents. Comes with one metal crush washer for drain plug for each filter in kit; never had any leaks or bolt back-outs/loosening with these crush washers. Utilized with full synthetic 0W-20 motor oil, on change-outs every 6,000 to 10,000 miles (depending on kind of driving done over that time). At a bit extra $$$, going OEM seems worth it, and the price differential is easier to manage by using rewards points accumulated through other Amazon purchases.

Perfect fit as they should! OEM is best, I’ve bought 2 kits so far and will most likely buy a 6 pack to keep some stock for my oil changes, great value for this kit!

Got 2 of these for a 2013 Subaru Outback. I think these are slightly cheaper at our local (1.5 hours away) Subaru dealership, but my wife's car was due for an oil change and we didn't have any business near Subaru, so I ordered these for slightly more. They appear to be original and of good quality. I prefer to buy from the dealership, because of counterfeits sadly. In the future, I'll plan ahead better, but for this time and the next oil change, I'm using these. Fingers crossed. I'm doing a 5K mile interval, so hopefully that helps if these aren't OE. I don't notice any difference in engine performance. Since I don't get my oil tested on this car, I can't speak to how well it works, but I can say it seals well and does not leak. Gasket comes pre oiled. It's such a cheap part to risk your vehicle engine on, I would never buy a filter for my truck off of Amazon or Ebay, but for an older car, I'll take a risk. Good luck and happy oil changes!

Having owned several Subarus, I ensure to always use a factory oil filter. I especially like the black colored filters over the blue ones as they provide better quality and protection (this was reported on several Subaru blogs). I have experimented by cutting both a factory and a quality known brand filter and found the factory filter better constructed with a more robust relief valve. The filter came sealed therefore, I know it was not tampered with and branded by Subaru, not a filter made to look like a true Subaru product. The price was competitive with my local dealer price, and I did not have to drive the 30 miles to get a filter. The filter easily installs like it should without any leaks being observed thus far and I know its durability and performance will ensure my engine gets all the protection needed.

Perfect OEM filter for Subaru from Subaru.

Fit perfect and the crush washer was added plus. It look like genuine Subaru OEM filter.

Oem filter, been buying several times now but last few sets have been missing crush washers and only just now realized. Make sure to check your product before storing on shelf and return window lapses

Appear to be OEM filters. Have not had an issue yet. 150k miles on 2017 Outback 2.5i premium. I’m not an expert and don’t know how to verify OEM but these look the same as the ones I’ve bought at the dealership.

Excelente

As described, with crush washer. Perfect fit for 2021 Crosstrek. Buy with confidence.

Can't go wrong with the OEM filter!

Love that this comes with the crush washer. Makes my oil changes so much faster knowing I have the exact OEM-style parts ready to go. Fits my Forester perfectly.

This is the current OEM filter for nearly all subaru engines. "15208AA21A" supercedes and replaces "15208AA20A". The two filters are indistinguishable from eachother. This is the only filter i will accept for any of my subaru vehicles. Fits my 2016 Forester 2.5i and my 2023 Ascent 2.0 turbo without any issues.
