I noticed that Subaru changed to a new oil filter. they said this one is made in Canada, and that it is as good quality as the black ones it just cuts down on manufacturing costs. That maybe true, but the new ones feel really cheap and is it me or are they getting smaller and smaller? i was just wondering if anybody has used these on their STi, or if anybody has heard any issues of people using these? Also if anyone knows how they compare to the black ones filtration and performance wise? What oil filters are you guys running? thanks
