gimpydingo Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 I've ordered a Puro for my LGT (and Ralliart yeah yeah). Found this while trying to find a better filter for the Mitsu. http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-engine-turbo-drivetrain/637158-official-oil-filter-testing-results-thread-4g63t-4b11t.html Because of the bypass psi on the Sub/Mazda filters I may give the blacks a try after the puro. With a lower bypass psi, does that mean under load/WOT the oil probably won't be filtered and just pass through? Would a stock GT generate that much pressure? Or is the psi so high that it won't bypass no matter what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the psi so high that it won't bypass no matter what? Just stick with OEM, IMO. There's no data out there to show that the OEM filter is bad or that it cannot last for 7,500 miles. If you really want to read about oil pump pressure and filter bypass, read this and hope your head doesn't explode. http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1413097&page=1 -Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 There is nothing wrong with the OEM blue, but the black Tokio Roki filters are better. Also for 05-09 LGT subaru recommends an oci of 3750mi not 7500mi 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimpydingo Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Wondering about the filtering ability of the blue's. Think I'll go with the blacks going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Been with the black Tokyo Roki since the car was new - bought a butt-load of them when the *100s* were still available - and now at 137K on 3K OCIs. Will be buying another butt-load of TRs when I get a chance. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimberDHexMods Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I figure it stupid to have done a bit of this research and not yet capitalized on it, so just ordered 6 of the 160. Done, won't have to think about it for a few years. [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!

ClimberDHexMods Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 BTR 15208AA160 OEM 2.0L filter Metal filter body: 2.77" diameter at top lip, 2.675" diameter immediately below top lip. 3.38" height from rubber ring to filter bottom. Rubber o-ring extends approximately 0.043" past metal filter body, uncompressed. Measurements taken with plastic shrink wrapper still on top lip and top plane of filter.

SBT Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 15208AA100 Black Tokyo Roki filter Metal filter body: 2.76" diameter at top lip, 2.69" diameter immediately below top lip. 2.56" height from rubber ring to filter bottom. Rubber o-ring extends approximately 0.047" past metal filter body, uncompressed. Measurements taken with plastic shrink wrapper still on top lip and top plane of filter. Dimensionally, the BTR 15208AA160 OEM 2.0L BTR filter is essentially the same diameter with the same height rubber seal ring, but ~.8" longer than the Subaru OEM 2.5L 15208AA100 BTR filter.

bakabakablah Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Looks like the 15208AA160 filters aren't available from FBP anymore (in the 6pack w/ crush washers)... I knew I should have ordered them a couple of months ago :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05LGTLtd Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Is there a K&N "longer" style filter that would be equivalent to the 15208AA160 filters? The end nut is very useful on the 2010 forester, but the listed K&N is one of the smallest filters I have seen for our cars. I guess they have to give up some height in the filter body to leave spec'd clearance for the end nut? All I need now is a hill holder and a center passing light...
