I would think that a filter with at least 50k on it would need to be changed.

I’m not talking about the internal small screen filter but the one that is inside the cvt transmission pan.Mahle sells a cvt oil pan gasket instead of using etc sealant.

Can the Purolator red oil filter do a 6K oil change interval?It’s rated for 5k.Thank you

I have a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek with 29600 miles on her.Love the car and I’m going to buy her after lease ends.The Subaru service for this cvt is to inspect every 30k.How an inspection can determine anything is strande.I’m thinking of changing the fluid every 60k.Even at 120k the fluid might be...

I’m leasing a 2021 crosstrek limited.I like it a lot but Subaru could like the forester limited offer rear heat for passengers and a heated steering wheel.My other gripes are not enough color choices and most of all a cvt transmission fluid change interval with a replaceable filter.A power...

I have a Purolator Boss oil filter#PBL14615 with a date code of F12L18E1.Was this filter manufactured before Purolator redesigned the filter media/baseplate?The reason I ask is because I have a Purolator PureOne and the baseplate looks flare verses concave on the Boss.Thnks i
