Glad to see this video! USA Made Subaru Oil Filter is really a Fram!?

So I’m about to change the oil soon on our new Crosstrek. I’ve been watching some YouTube videos and saw this… I for surely won’t be buying an oil filter from the local Subaru dealer! At least not that blue one! Orange Can Of Death in disguise!

You think Subaru and also Honda would have Fram make their OEM filters if they were that bad ?

Dude in the video doesn't even understand oiling systems or oil filters. He thinks because one filter has more base plate holes that it flows more oil, lol - wrong.

Also, more pleats does not automatically mean more media. Need to measure the total surface area, which is comprised of more than just the number if pleats. This guy is filter ignorant.

Whip City Wrencher is far better and informative (not misleading). Check out his content.
