Well unfortunately basic Subaru products are now coming under the effects of supply chain issues. Via our dealer distribution network the OEM 15208AA12A utilized on many EJ series engines is on national back order. We will continue to utilize the stock we have left. For a substitute we will begin utilizing thee Tokyo Roki Mazda filter. Now to some that may come as a shock. Why would you use a Mazda oil filter on a Subaru engine ? Well the bypass pressure is the same along with more filtering media available. The more media the more debris over duration it can catch. Subaru use to supply their black Tokyo Roki filter at Subaru dealers. Due to cost cutting and supply issues this is no longer an option unless you buy the filter from a vendor getting it from out of the country. If you see a Mazda filter on your Subaru from us in the future. Don’t be alarmed if it is on your car we reference the engine to the filter use

- Media Surace Area

MAZDA Tokyo Roki filter N3R1-14-302 = 725.73

OEM Filter 15208AA12A = 473.7

- Bypass Valve PSI - 23 PSI
