My current mechanic is getting the boot because he doesn't know jack. Said my oil leak was caused by myself changing the oil. He advised to top it up and it should be fine.  :/

 

Hahahaha

The only logic I can put behind his reasoning for saying that is that you tightened the oil filter to the point where it damaged the cooler (if your cooler is part of the filter setup)

Don't they use a different turbo?

Or is that just the gen 2

They do, I just don't remember if they were really any better though.... Now that I think about it, I genuinely can't remember for certain.

 

I think the JDM's use the 26/27 combo and the ADM use 33/32.. might need to look into it.

Old mate said it wasn't the filter causing the problem.

 

He also replaced it with a genuine Subaru filter as well but didn't put it on my invoice.

Yes JDM Turbo are different. Final drive is also 4:44 JDM spec box and diff. 
 
VF32 shits on the JDM turbos.

Gotca so I was right but wrong.

Different turbo but not as good

Can't say I have ever used a genuine subaru filter on my car ever.

[Robert]

I've started using them for the last 2 or 3 services, no difference imo

Nah there isn't.

 

Just another freaking oil filter, pretty much all of them do the exact same thing.

[Robert]

I usually just grab one anyway while I'm getting the uec from subaru

It's like 9 bucks on trade or something

[Harry88]

I remember reading something on the net about the oil rate flow can be different on cheaper filters. How you would test that I have no idea.

What do they cost normally?

[Robert]

I'm due for a fuel filter this service, dunno if I should go genuine or ryco.

Ryco is a shit tonne cheaper for me

15 bucks rings a bell

[Harry88]

Coolio. I used ryco before but I will be getting genuine next time considering its about the same price.

 

I done and oil change on my sisters gen 3 on monday and used a repco branded filter because its all they had in stock. It seemed alright to me.

Repco/Ryco, they will all do the job fine.

Subaru filters are all re branded Purolator filters. (if my memory serves me correctly) Which are a good brand of filter, anyways. As Josh said Repco/Ryco will be fine. I use the drift/k&n branded filters with the socket attachment on the bottom of the filter. Makes it so much easier to take them on & off.
