Looks like a tough guard. Looks just fine.

It looks like the Honda filter.

Nice cut and post

Too bad Fram doesn't sell the Subaru-spec filter on the aftermarket

At least there's the Wix 57055 (and even an XP, too)

It looks like the Honda filter.

That's because both are Fram

I put the wix back on. But I just posted a Honda oil filter made in Japan that was put on by my local dealership. It was made by Mahle.

Agree, it looks better than an Extra Guard.

Looks pretty similar to an extra guard I cut open a while back.

Cardboard end caps and pressed steel 'spring'. I switched to Wix 57055XP (2017 Forester 2.5L).

I have been running the regular WIX or Napa gold. For the past probably 5 or 6 oil changes

Excellent work on the C&P, it’s appreciated. I think the filter looks great.
