Genuine Subaru 15208AA160 Oil Filter — for EJ, FB, FA, and EZ Series Engines

A check engine light related to oil pressure, increased engine noise at idle or under load, reduced fuel economy, or a warning that your oil change is overdue — these are common signs that your oil filter needs replacement. A clogged or degraded oil filter allows contaminants to circulate through the engine, causing accelerated wear and reduced performance. Replacing it with this genuine Subaru oil filter ensures clean oil flow and proper engine protection.

This is a factory‑original Subaru oil filter (part number 15208AA160), designed for a wide range of Subaru engines. It features a high‑efficiency filtration element that traps metal particles, sludge, and other contaminants, ensuring clean oil reaches critical engine components. The filter is a spin‑on type with a built‑in bypass valve and anti‑drainback valve for reliable performance. This is the same part sold at Subaru dealerships.
