We shoot for 4-sigma; 67 DPMO.
Which again proves that nothing is "perfect".

You are correct, it is a bit more complicated that that.

It was not an attempt to delve into the subtleties of Six Sigma techniques.

I'm not sure how "innovative" this Subaru filter location.

Think he was talking about the filter mounted on top of the engine like his photo showed, not the location nested inside the exhaust system, which is "not too cool" as they say.

yeah, I just LOVE where Subaru located these filters! Changing oil on them for customers fresh off the highway, those get a bit toasty! I'll take the topside mounted filter any day over these knuckle burners!

Acknowledged and understood, and agreed.

When I posted I was well aware that newer filter location was being referenced, thus the posting of another Subaru filter location with pic provided for comparison. Based on that comparison, seemed to me the "innovation" example was being cherry picked.

When I bought my ranger a month ago the oil pressure gauge would bounce at idle. My first thought was sending unit was wonky. I got home and after draining the Dino Castrol 5w20 I went to pull the filter and it had hardly any tension to it breaking loose(purolator from quick lube) and changed it to fram ultra. Swapped oil to Castrol Edge 5w30 and the oil pressure hasn't bounced since.

Comparatively speaking, it was "innovative".
