Mazda (N3R1-14-302) Oil Filter Cartridge

Works pefectly on our subaru crosstreks. I am having great results others should research for themselves.

Fitted perfectly for my 2015 sti! Good for it value, easy to install, quality top notch, overall will be buying again!

Works great best filter for subaru hands down

I run these on my Subaru EJ25 motor. The guys on Bobistheoilguy did a tare down and determined these are really great filters. Also the bypass valve is correct for the Subaru motor. Subaru used to sell this model of filter at their dealership until they switched to a new supplier. I'm at 205k on my 2006 Legavy GT and it's always had one of these filters on it.

As you can see by the rest of the reviews, this is an original Subaru Japan part. I've only ever owned WRX's, so I can undoubtedly confirm 02-14 WRX/04-21 WRX STi fitment. However Subarus are lego cars, global platform as they like to call it, and this filter probably fits a ton of other models(like a Legacy GT). If you can find out if your OEM filter is the same part number as the aforementioned WRX's, as long as it clears your headers (physically fits down there, it's slightly taller than the US blue one), it should be no problem. This filter is vastly better than the blue US Fram filter, and probably costs the same. So if you can confirm fitment on like a nasioc I highly recommend it.

Well in other words. Your oil capacity improves due to a bigger, better filter and this filter is THISTY. Just how I like them. I was able to fully fill it up 4 times. Yes 4. I've never seen a filter media soak that much oil before installing it. I did realize that this may cause my oil level to jump up a few days later when the oil eventually seeps away from the filter media though hahaNo biggie really. Anyone who owns a WRX knows that oil goes decently fast in them but only when you drive them hard. If you don't drive them hard, before this filter I always only lose about half a dip stick of oil by the time it's oil change at 3200-3400 miles. I actually extend a little more now to almost 3800 because I use the best oil Motul.

I use it for my Subaru WRX STI 2016.It fits great and should work better, than the OEM filter.But beware of using tools to tighten this thing up, the metal case is very thin and will deform easily.So tighten it by hand only.

I use these oem mazda units on my 00-09 subarus, of which I have 3, because they have the same bypass rate but more filter capacity than any other subaru filters. Highly recommend!
