they are still widely available.
my dealer still has a whole rack of them and says they have no problems ordering more.
Really? I can't find them anywhere. Just the blue Fram can now
OP....do you have any thoughts about the Fram XG filter not meeting Subaru's by pass specs?
Me too, in terms of not being able to find the black Roki filters (P/N 15208AA160) anymore. Now all I can find from Subaru is the blue filter (Honeywell, I believe, P/N 15208AA15A). I've heard that the old Roki filters are superior to the Honeywell filters, so I'm not buying the Honeywells. I plan to go with the FRAM XG7317 when I run out of Roki filters.
I have no educated opinion regarding the XG filter not meeting Subaru's bypass specs. I've only heard that it's an excellent filter, well built with very good filter media. If someone on this forum has an informed reason to steer me away from the XG7317, I'm listening.
