Subie you can change the gauges in your display screen to show engine oil temperature. I dont have an ascent in front of me right now but I've done it before on one. I believe I was able to select which options of gauges to display for a certain information screen.

If the OP is concerned about unfiltered engine oil I would recommend ponying up for the fram endurance FE7317. I take care of many subarus and have seen the new Ultra and carquest tear a handful of times in them which wont happen on the wire backed Endurance.

I service many subaru cvts and if High Performance Lubricants cvt fluid is compatible I will absolutely buy the HPL fluid

Have a 2006 Express with the 4.8L that I will be dropping the pan to replace O ring and inspect pickup tube that does exactly the same thing. 20 psi cold oil pressure startup which will dip lower with more rpm. (Lifters will start clacking if driven too much, cold) and then 35psi idle builds up...

I've only ever bought 2: M1 212A filters. Posted both failures. I wouldn't chance it 🤷‍♂️

Yep.. 5w30 diesel conventional going into a $140 dollar premium service oil change...

That is concerning. There were glue pieces on the outside of the media but it does not appear to equal the approximate volume of glue missing from the center tube of the filter. Even worse, this would have been unnoticed if the end cap hadn't come apart to see it

Makes me wonder what kind of oil was being purchased at a shop I used to help at. Shop owner bought "cheapest conventional 5w30 diesel oil money could buy" for every vehicle serviced, because he didnt believe in "that synthetic stuff". His bulk tanks are the ones that come to mind. Every car...

Still intact. Pick wont willingly go deeper than picture

I do not believe I damaged the filter opening it. It cut clean in the cutter and no damage was done to the can removing it from engine. 2nd question that is the start and end of the media glued together.

Fram endurance FE10575 went back on and some Mobil 1

Posted a failed 212A a few months ago from a buddy's silverado. This M1 212A is off another buddy's 14 Ford Explorer 3.5L V6 naturally aspirated. Never held anything against these filters just bought them because my other favorite wasnt available at the time. I'm glad this was a short...

I believe on 18 Impreza it is visible on the center information screen on sport trim level only if OP has sport model

Whichever you prefer. Maybe a few ounces of Berryman B12 chemtool added to cold engine oil. Bring to temp and change. Liqui Moly LM2037, whichever your preferred
