IMO, the $tealership is still the only way to go. (NOT Ron Price--SSF or Stevens Crack) it's not worth the hassle of ordering & paying for shipping. You do save a couple bucks per filter+gasket though.

I have bought from there before, it was $7.63
I didnt buy a washer cuz I have the valve, but $16 is way too much, they must have overcharged u by mistake.

Subaru dealerships only sell the crappy white ones instead of teh black ones now. Is this is the same for norcal as it is in socal? the crappy white ones aren't made in Japan, and they leak 
I'm going to stick to buying aftermarket denso oil filters.

theres a thread about a bad batch of new oil filters that leak somewhere in nasioc. i'm getting the filter without washer because i'm going to get the fumoto valve also. I don't want to drive too far to find an oil filter and since ron price, steven's creek, and diablo are the only close ones, i'll just order from the website. thanks for all replies.

Pepboys has purolators. Just get one of those since they make the OEM ones. Also, if you buy their calendars they have coupons in there for the filter too. Though, make sure they have them first because ours tend to run out very quickly.

oil filter without washer is 29.10 for 6, shipping is like 8, so its 38 bucks. with the washer its 33.12 and shipping it'll be around 42. it'll be 7 bucks for one then. u only save like a few cents but u dont have to drive and deal with those evil dealership.
