Hi Subaru owners.
So I have a 2012 Subaru Legacy 2.5 non-turbo. At the very beginning when I bought it the dealer used conventional oil whichever they had at every service.
At about 45k I decided to switch to synthetic oil, I use Mobil 1 (5W-30 grey bottles) and I use OEM filter (#15208AA12A).
But i started seeing that there is a bigger filter available (#15208AA15A). The only difference is that it is a little taller.
I started reading and some articles say that the OEM filter (#15208AA12A) isn't enough. So I drive for 10k and change the oil. And I am about to change the oil and new filter but I wonder does it really matter since I swiched from conventional oil to synthetic.
I mean I use the same OEM filter. And the filter does only one job.
Would anybody advise to use the bigger filter? I have a hard time believing that some articles say that OEM filter (#15208AA12A) won't hold 10k ?
