Yes it is the black Roki, p/n 15208AA20A. I found it funny that when I picked up the Outback I checked the oil and it was 1/2 to 3/4 of a Qt over full from the factory(picked up the car with 8 miles on it), the service department told me that's the way they come from the factory. Rod

I just got my new '24 Outback(2.4L) and I would like to change the oil filter out. Problem is I don't see a Fram Ultra or any oil filter for my 2024(even checked Baldwin). I have 300 miles on this car and would like to cut the filter open but can't till I find a filter to put back on, any help...

I put 90k miles on my first air filter and I got 88.7k miles on this one. I change the air filter at six years or when my restriction gauge shows I have a restriction. So far in a little over 12 years and 200k miles the air filter's(two) has yet to show a restriction. I check the filter every...

I do not. I had the used oil tested three times all before the engine had 100k miles. I did this mainly to see the wear numbers. Back then I ran M1 10/40 high mileage but when they changed the formula I went to a frankenstein brew of 4 qts M1 0/40 and 2 qts of M1 0/50 racing oil. I did get one...

We went on drives in the 13 western states and the two western providence's of Canada with the first air filter. We added 30 states and three more providence's of Canada with this air filter. We just won't take our S down south to Mexico, we still have to many things to see here. As you know we...

Here are some pictures of this filter after 88,700 miles Not as many seeds in this one as the first air filter, and no it doesn't have flowers growing out of it.

I suggest reading the Kama Sutra with your significant other. If your like my wife and I you will laugh(that ain't going to work) to cry(why did we try that) to that was fun as heck(lets do that again). Beats cutting down a tree or washing the car any time. Rod

Sure there is. If you can't measure any restriction because of the air filter(not talking whole intake) there is no loss of hp at wot even at red line. I could put a K&N on my car and not get any more power. I could mount the air filter off my old 14L diesel on same car and not gain any hp even...

If the stock air filter puts no restriction(as shown by a air filter restriction gauge) how can a filter that flows more cfm make more power? If the engine is getting 100% of the air it wants with no restriction, putting a larger filter on it won' t get you more hp. If someone on here can show...

All MGM Resorts Int. announced it will close all of their hotels in Las Vegas effective Tuesday. Will not take any reservations till May 1 2020. Not going to be a good time to have all your money in stocks. Rod

FCA couldn't sell the '19 model year truck with the 3.0 diesel so now you can get one at $20,000 off sticker price. Some poor schmuck went and paid $47,000 for his truck three months ago and now you can go buy the same truck for $27,000. I'd be mad as [censored] if I was that schmuck because my...

The only way a 15w-xx oil would be a problem at 5F is if as soon as it fired up you took it to red line. Good looking UOA. Rod

My S2000 red lines at 8600 rpm and my oil gets hot(just the stock oil heater/cooler) when on the track. I have 165k miles on my S and for the last few years(45k miles) I've ran a 50/50 mix of M1 0/40 fs and M1 0/50 racing oil. The racing oil has a great anti-wear package(actually to strong for a...
