That's what is weird to me. I never think of Champ as a decent option on filters, and they usually don't come up on part searches, but I've had great luck with SuperTech oil filters in the past, so I assume they're a good option..?

Thanks for the follow up! Your's looks better than mine, for sure. Glad to see I'm not crazy or that mine hadn't been swapped inside the box for a different filter. I really think I'm going to try to exchange mine for a SuperTech. I hate to do it, since I assume there has to be a better option...

Also check to see what the gasket is made of. I swear I've bought an air filter with Fram orange rubber sealing, but this is just plastic with a felt gasket.

My local WM seems to have nothing in stock for a Subaru that I actually want. Should I try to get a SuperTech, or am I chasing another false unicorn there, too? The same store that I went to for this one has SuperTech, I think. It's not too far out of the way.

I bought this after seeing so many recommendations on here for Fram Ultra air filters. Went out of my way to find it in stock locally. Made sure the seal wasn't broken on the box. Hoped for a rubber gasket instead of felt. Got felt. The pleats look good, but the filter itself was immediately...

Apparently CVTF Type II is only available from Subaru as a Subaru branded fluid (pretty sure it's Idemitsu?) and this new product is Idemitsu's first "aftermarket" fluid designed specifically for use in Subaru CVT's, which came out in the last month. Not sure why they'd need a totally different...

I'm always one to look for an upgraded fluid, but this is one case where I've had bad experiences with a CVT before, and I want this one to last 300,000 miles. If Idemitsu has designed a fluid that not just supercedes the original, but actually improves it, I'd love to know that. Idemitsu Type 2...

Just as the title says. Not sure if the fluid has been updated or if it's just simply a name change. We are due for a CVT drain and fill, and would like whatever the newest recommended fluid is. I can't find Type SB2 for sale anywhere, and I'm also wondering if Subaru's OE CVT fluid is now SB2...

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I made an impulse buy today because I needed a belt fast, and needed one that wouldn't cost me much if it went kerblammo immediately because of any underlying issues that caused the first belt to break. I expected the belt to be made in China, but it says...
