My Subaru transmission filter is the same part number as the engine filter.I've heard a few say to use factory filter for the Transmission.I usually use Napa gold or Pureones for the engine.Are they suitable for the transmission also?Thanks
My 2000 Subaru Forester uses a different part number and it was a much heaver filter (can seemed thicker material) than the engine filter-possibly due to higher AT pressures and where it was in the hydraulic circuit. Recheck the factory parts number again.Post back with your findings please.
I use a Napa Gold 1365 on the two automatic Subies in our family fleet. One has 109,000 miles, the other has 146,000 miles. Both shift like they did when they were new.
