Which oil filter? 2002 WRX
Ive been getting mixed reviews on the proper oil filter for the 2002 WRX. So whats the correct dealer part number? Also which part of the crush washer faces the oil pan on the drain plug. The two sides look different. Thanks:banana:

Purolator PL14460 is all good....and the flat side of the washer goes against the shoulder of the drainplug....the 'curved' side against the oil pan.

It's all BS......the new 2.5's have the oil cooler lines going the 'other' way and the bigger filter gets too close to them.
If you have an STi or FXT, then you need the smaller filter.....if not....use whichever....I'll continue to use the PL14460
