Oil filter's 15208AA12A vs. 15208AA15A vs. 15208AA160A


Recommended Posts

Anyone use the newer 15208AA15A filter on their 3rd gen ?   I already have the 15208AA15A for our 2018 Forester and it'd be nice to just stock one filter.    Thank you.

I believe the difference is in the drain back valve, as the filter on the left goes on EJ's on the bottom, and the filter on the right goes on FB's and forester turbos.

Question is would the drain valve on the 15208AA15A even come into play on the bottom mounted filter of the EJ engine, would not the filter always have oil in this position ?

If you ask Mr. Subaru he doesn't recommend either of those filters. One of the top comments links straight to his "top 3" around 59 minute mark.
