oil change question
I have an 05 STi and after I found out that an oil change at the dealership ran me 65 bucks I decided to start doing my own oil changes. Ive done them in the past but always on crappy cars and Im a little worried about this one (shes my baby). I was just wondering if anyone had any sugestions on the best oil filters to use.

I agree with JayD707. Use the oem filter available at the dealer.

Stick with OEM oil filters, buy them in bulk from an online Subaru parts place to save some money over the prices that most dealers charge.

I like the Puralator filter for my WRX, not sure if they have them for STi though.
