External transmission filter

zensvx · 09-17-2000, 07:32 PM

I'm taking the SVX in for some routine stuff later this week and wanted to get some thoughts on external transmission filters. I think the 92-93s had a TSB for these to be installed but I never heard anything about maintenance. How often should it be changed, if ever? do I need to replace it with the exact Subaru part? can I replace it with one of those nifty Perma-cool deals with a built in temp. gauge(

!)? All comments are appreciated.

If your car already has the Subaru filter on,it is very easy and cheap to replace(around ten bucks).It never hurts to put on a new filter even before the recommended interval.As for the Permacool filter, it is a much better setup.I just put one on my 92 yesterday.
