on my '19 Crosstrek. Why? BC I can. Filter change on a subaru is about a 2 minute job. Upside down in the engine compartment. Not one drip removing the old filter.

Nice work, Al. Just put your flame suit on
Just put FRAM Ultra in my 19' Charger 3.6 at 1100 miles. It picked up 35HP....................................

Well just think what chrome muffler bearings would do!

Don't forget to stick a "TURBO" badge on the back!
And maybe a fake hood scoop...

Cut open the factory filter and post some pics. When are you going to dump the Factory fill? On my 2015 Caravan I saw some metal particles in the filter.

So how does this keep the head gaskets from leaking at 100,000 miles?

Have you been under a rock for the past 12 years? Please go back.

Problem is, with the upside down positioning, you can't pre-load the filter with oil, getting a longer dry-start period.

I too was burnt by build quality issues on an older Subaru (08 Outback 3.0 LL Bean) but based on the repair metrics sites their new 4 cyl engine in the Crosstrek and some other models seem to be holding up much much better in terms of 60k-100k+ reliability then the 3.0 and early 3.6 H6's or the much loved/hated EJ25.
Not one drip removing the old filter. [IMG said:
On my old cars, if they don't drip that just means there ain't any oil it it.

You can still saturate the filter media with oil, which probably contributes to half the time it takes to pressurize the engine. The anit-drainback valve will retain some of the oil on the outside of the filter. The pump will fill the filter very quickly..

Yea..lol
All their engines have a separate water circuit for the head and for the block.
Of course I knew I would get flamed. Partly why I did it.
I have a pic of it installed. I will post later.
