Kelly,
Do you recall which remote oil filter kit you used? I got one and it is
certainly not an exact fit. If I recall correctly the diameter of the seal
is a little biggr than that on the original oil filter. This makes the
actual seal barely catch the inside diameter of the rubber gasket. I'm not
real comfortable and would like to find a better fitting unit. I'm not at
the hangar and I can't seem to remember exactly what brand mine is. Thanks.
Andy

Hi Jim, or anyone else that is looking for the original Stratus supplied Wix
oil filter.
I purchased a case before Wix discontinued this filter (#51065). I have
switched over to a remote oil filter which take a much larger filter.
Anyway I still have 5 filters left that I will not be needing. If anyone is
interested in them drop me a email.

Andy,
I purchased my remote oil filter kit from J.C. Whitney, the brand name was
"Perma Cool".
It was sold as a "universal" remote kit. It had 2 different fitting to mate
the remote adapter to my engine block (one was a very good fit if I recall).
They also supply 4 different threaded inserts to mate with the engine blocks
threaded stud which the filter spins onto. Again one was a good fit.
I've been running this setup since April of 06 with no problems or leaks.
Kelly

I have notes that say it's a 3/4-16 thread but it would be worth
checking with a dealer or parts place first.

Thanks Larry, and everyone else that responded. I had noticed the Briggs &
Stratton filters, but I wasn't sure about the quality or the pressure
handling ability, since I don't have a pressure gauge on my riding mower.
Since others are having good luck, I suppose that I'll just use the Briggs
filter the next time.
Thanks Again,
Jim Weston 601HDS

Hi Jim,
Go to your Lowe's building supply store or equivalent and find the
Briggs & Stratton ELS Series Part Number 5076
This is a premium filter and it is what I use. There's a black Briggs as
well that looks the same and can be used also.

That may be close but everything else on the Subaru is Metric.
