Fuel filter for 04'+ STi, are they are replacement item?
I know it is inside the fuel tank next the fuel pump, the parts guy at the dealer told me Subaru don't even sell the filter separately. So is that mean it is a life time, don't need to be replace item?
What confused me is, Subaru recommend replacing the fuel filter on 04'+ STi at 60k miles http://www.subaru.com/owners/schedul...2004myfed.html Does that mean we have to buy the whole fuel pump assembly if the filter is not available separately? It doesn't make much sense. Thank you in advance

The fuel filter is located in the tank and is part of the fuel pump.

Replacement interval is 90K miles. I keep hoping that Subaru will come out with a replacement filter, but it has not happened yet. There is a DIY for using the supra filter either on ravenblade's site or on scoobymods. I've also been kicking around the idea of just installing a big aftermarket inline filter, but I keep going back and forth on that one.

Is this something subaru did on only the STIs? I know the first thing I noticed on the WRX is it had the same exact fuel filter as my rs, right under the hood on the right side. Makes changing the filter in under 5 minutes possible.
And does anyone know why they changed it? |

The fuel filter is not under the bonnet on my '05 WRX.
According to the official Subaru maintenance schedule (HERE), it should be replaced at 60k miles. That schedule is for all 2005 vehicles so it should apply to the WRX and STi. -Bryce |
