Try looking for replacement blades for a pipe or tubing cutter. They have to be using some fairly common off the shelf size.

There are a lot of good and cheap choices if a slightly longer filter will fit. I'm running a NAPA ProFormer 21348 which was under $5 rather than overpaying for a tiny filter from Briggs & Stratton or an OPE specific filter from FRAM, Wix, etc. The O'Reilly equivalent would be MGL51348. As...

Just go slowly... The blade shouldn't be forced into the can, just let it lightly touch and give the can a few rotations which will remove a small amount of material. Tighten it a tiny bit more, repeat the process and you should be able to get through it. If this still doesn't work, try...

05 10 23 No efficiency specs are published, but YouTube user WhipCityWrencher took a picture of the media under a microscope. You can see some light spots in the media which you don't typically see on higher end filters.

You are correct. The supply issues have been resolved. Tokyo Roki replaces First Brands (FRAM) as the supplier for these oil filters. An updated part number was issued.

This is the new Subaru 15208AA20A filter that is made in Indonesia with Tokyo Roki branding. Interesting note: The design matches with a filter brand called Sakura which we do not have access to in the US market. There are several YouTube videos of these filters being cut open and they all have...

You have the same engine as the 2023 model. Some options, all with the correct bypass rating for a Subaru engine, include: WIX 57055 NAPA Gold 7055 or ProFormer 27055 MicroGard MSL57055 or MGL57055 Purolator 16415 variants The Tokyo Roki filters at the dealer are quite well constructed but...

I'm wondering what impact the gaps between sections of the leaf spring and the end cap have on filtration efficiency. The old design had a gasket on the end cap to ensure a seal, but that is no longer the case and it is metal to metal now. Any imperfections in either component can leave a gap...

When jump starting from a running car, spare battery, or old jump pack without a switch you will usually get a spark when attaching second cable. Batteries can generate hydrogen gas, and hydrogen gas + a spark = boom. Attaching the positive cable to the positive terminal and the negative to a...

Then we fit well into corporate America. I have been in some pretty asinine meetings that rehashed the same thing as the last 3 meetings with no real forward progress on the topic. My favorite story about this was a company that had a meeting about having shorter and more effective meetings...

I agree 100% on the box and how it should be accurate regarding the contents. If they are being so lax on something you can see, then what other quality steps are they skipping? There was also the thread on 3 of the same filters each with different construction. Are their QC processes really...

MANN+HUMMEL's North America operations are really hitting it out of the park here:rolleyes:. I just don't get it... their filters from Europe and Asia seem to always look great, but their plants in the US and Mexico seem to struggle at putting out a consistently good product. It is sad to see...

The big issue with Amazon isn't customer service within the return window, but rather counterfeit goods and misrepresentation of products from third party sellers. There are a disturbing number of outright dangerous products being sold on Amazon and very little accountability. It is a big enough...

In this case, I would rather deal with a US based middle man that has offices, warehouses, and employees here vs an unknown overseas company. It is similar to my view on Harbor Freight Tools... sure you can probably find a lot of the same stuff on Ali Express or some other marketplace (heck...

Very true. What you see on the various hoarding TV shows is typically a result of a mental illness. There's nothing wrong with stocking up on stuff you know you will need, especially in today's world of supply chain disruptions and massive inflation. Buying parts for cars that one doesn't take...

Yep... they're using a Content Distribution Network that caches images and other files at a location geographically close to you. Where you get routed can depend on where you are located and even which Internet Service Provider you use. These various local caches can get out of sync. Usually...

I would be beyond pissed if this happened to me. You should consider changing the oil and getting a used oil analysis. If silicon and wear metals are high, they owe you a warranty extension for the engine.

I have always wondered whether bonding paper to hard plastic is really the best design. I'm sure that is exactly how the OE filter is made, but it doesn't look like this design is very forgiving to any slight manufacturing issues or any pulling / flexing forces that could happen during...

They can rust internally, especially in humid environments. Not a huge issue for short term storage... but if you're storing filters for years it makes sense to take some precautions.
