The Subaru Genuine OEM Oil Filter 15208AA100 removes particulates from EJ20 and EJ25 engines. With a Japan-built M20x1.5 threaded body, it fits factory oil pumps without modification. It replaces the older 15208AA080 model and upgrades the filtration media to trap finer debris during operation.
Key Features
- Anti-Drainback Valve: Internal rubber seal retains oil inside the canister. Prevents dry starts after the car sits.
- 23.2 PSI Bypass Valve: Spring-loaded mechanism opens under high pressure. Keeps oil circulating if the filter becomes clogged.
- Japanese Manufacturing: Tokyo Roki production standards match OEM engine specs. Metal threads resist stripping during installation.
- Metal Canister: Steel housing survives impacts from road dust and gravel. Stops oil leaks under high-RPM stress.
