Review: I really do not understand the bad reviews about the crush gasket not being included with this filter - it is hardly a reason to downgrade the stars on the actual filter. The listing here does not mention the crush gasket being included with the filter. Come on people, read the listing in its entirety before you get mad about it. Also, for those paying six dollars for a single crush gasket, do yourself a favor and go to a subaru dealer and ask the parts counter to grab you a couple, they are not six dollars at a dealer. For those who are looking for a review on the actual product (the oil filter), I will happily extend my thoughts. -I like these filters because they are a direct factory replacement - same engineering, same bypass pressure, everything. -I enjoy how these filters come in a disposable box and have a heat shrunk seal around them, closing off the internals of the filter. Cleanliness is important to us! -I also really like how the O-ring is designed on this filter. Inside the groove it sits in, it is not so tight that you cannot remove it to apply a film of new oil and there's little to no chance that the old O-ring will come off when removing the old filter. -The part numbers are large and easy to read on this filter so replacement is easy. Overall, these filters are exactly what you would expect from Subaru. I haven't had any issues running them on my FA20. *Shipping was very quick!*
Review: This fits directly on my 2015 Subaru WRX no tools no hassle. When I bought the price was great at 18$. As many people already mention we should never over tighten it using wrenches or other tools. Hand tighten is good enough.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I am wondering what size of oil filter wrench to order for this filter but I cannot find the diameter anywhere. Does anyone know what the diameter is?**
A: You don't really need a wrench to tighten the filter down. Make sure your hands and filter are oil free and you will get a good enough grip on it to snug it down sufficiently. If you are worried about it coming loose go to auto zone or another parts supplier and they will set you up. All oil filters are generally the same size.

**Q: Does this oil filter fit for 2016 wrx limited???**
A: It fit my 2015 WRX Limited, which has identical engine as yours.

**Q: Would this work on a 2015 impreza sport?**
A: These are a bit shorter that the one ending in 160 that fit the Sport (which I have) but it’s to clear the oil cooler that the WRX has between the base and the filter. Have been wanting to try it but you can go for the BRZ one that ends in 130.

**Q: Does this filter fit a 2017 WRX**
A: Yes, it will fit on your 2017 WRX
