I appreciate everyone's input with this subject. With both filters being so close on the spec sheets (except for the missing specs) I don't know why Subaru decided to use the 2 different filters & just could have saved some $ by just going with 1 filter.

I reviewed the WIX charts for both filters. I was disappointed that certain specs were called out on the 57055, & were missing with the 10078 filters. Like the max flow rate, & the Nominal micron rating. I don't know what the difference is between Cellulose & Enhanced Cellulose, & how much of a...

No, the Outback has a 2.5L non turbocharged motor.

Unfortunately I don't have any thread gauges to check the pitches. The only other way would be to see if they both thread onto the filter fitting on the housing. But because there's a lot of commonization of parts I would think the timing cover housing (where the filter inlet is) would be the...

I was thinking that the larger diameter of the WRX filter would have more then offset the height differance of the Outback filter. Without cutting both open, I would assume everything else would be the same with the filters.

As I mentioned I'm interested in the possibilitiy of using the WRX oil filter in place of the Outback oil filter. With the larger outer canister diameter of the WRX oil filter it would have more pleats (filter material) then the Outback filter. Except for a minor difference in the gaskets of the...

I've taken the gaskets out of both filters, & they're almost completely the same. The I.D. & gasket height are exactly the same between the gaskets. The wall thickness of the Outback gasket it just 0.4mm thicker then the WRX gasket, It's this thicker wall thickness that translates to the...

I don't know if this has been discussed. I was interested in finding out if an Oil Filter for a 2024 WRX can be installed on a 2024 Outback without any problems with the oil system? I've bought both filters, & have done some quick measurements for comparisons. The biggest differences between the...
