Crush Washer
So how long do you guys think it would take to buy a crush washer, thats right 1 little tiny crush washer from stevens creek subaru? I went there this morning and found out, how long do you guys think it would take? Well just to let you know i spent at least 15 ****ing minutes in that hell hole, shltty service, shltty workers, shltty prices. the guy in the parts department told me that wholesale for a subaru oil filter is $7.80 so thats the price if you buy in bulk but if in singles 9.99 plus a buck for the crushwasher, so it comes up to around 12 bucks. i felt like kicking people in the head, the parts department is inside of the work area so mechanics are right behind me working on cars not to mention spill antifreeze all over the floor around me and me stepping in it. then the guy in front of the computer is punchin in numbers and not paying attention to me and 5 mins later another worker comes goes to the back comes back and helps me then gives me the reciept which i then had to go to the cashier to pay for it which is in a different building then the cashier isnt in her booth. ooo i was pissed and on top of that i tightened my oil filter too much and it was a ***** to take off, usually i just use my hand and now i had to buy a filter wrench, shltty day twas 2day

Dude, if it's one thing anyone learns from these boards, it's not to go to Stevens Creek...
Go to pepboys, get the FRAM filter... Not the X2, just the regular one that orange with the black grip bottom.
Go to www.fumoto.com and buy the non-nipple valve, and use the washer that comes with it... 15k, maybe even 25k miles, and like 7 oils changes, I am still amazed to the quality of that valve...
Cool?

DUDE!!! Same thing to me on Saturady!!!! OMG they suck!!!!
I waited for someone in that frik'n room for 5 min. Then the guy says "oh...parts is over there". So I get the Oil filter, and go back to the "service dept".....wait ANOTHER 5 min. So I go to the little shop to the left and ask this fat guy "hey, is anyone working today"? He stuffs he fat face with food and points back into the "service room". So, I thought he would go in there and help me....WRONG!!!!
So, I wait another 5 min. Go back and there are 3 f'n fat idiots stuffing their faces. So, I say "HEY, are you going to help me or not"!!!! He points agian......but no one it in there. So, I tell this guy to get someone to help me...and he got an attitude but says he will page somone....10 min. later they helped me!!
THEY SUCK!!!! I could have left and had the filter for free!!! But I am not like that. But when I left I yelled and the fat guys eating, and told them they suck and that I will go to Santa Cruz next time....

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn, $10 for an oil filter? I would say I can't believe people still go there for ANYTHING at all. They don't deserve our service. If I ever pass by that place, I would take a **** on the showroom floor, but they don't even deserve to be graced with my ****. It is sad that people just don't know. Never go there for anything.

not sure if you all know about this honda oem filter also fits our subaru. you might wanna check out the fram filter book and compare filter of the subaru and the honda filter. THEY BOTH MATCH, and you can save a few bucks.

Just mail-order the filters....it's easy and you don't have to get close to SC Subaru 
Also, do NOT put a Fram filter on your car. They are crap. Worst filtration of about ANY oil filter out there, and that includes the "no-name/el-cheapo" ones at the parts store (which are actually made by Purolator, Wix, etc....FYI the Subaru Filter is just a relabelled Purolator). As for Fram "quality" (or lack thereof), ask me sometime about the Fram fuel filter I had on my Impala SS that SPLIT OPEN (at about 1.5 years old) and damn near burned down the car!

Are you serious about the Honda filters though?
I used to work at honda and i kno all the people at the parts counters, I get those filters for like $3...i'll have to try that out...is it a PERFECT fit?
