Anyone here who also purchases oil filters in bulk. I've been buying factory filters since the begging https://www.subarupartspros.com/sku/12x-15208aa15a-803916010.html simply because I could save more but also looking for any other oem filters with bulk package.
I stock oil filters for myself, but that is the wrong filter for the Sambar. You want 15208KA012. It is also used on the Justy, so it is available here in the US. You can get them for about $7 each from most online subaru dealers. I stick with the Tokyo Roki (aka, the "Black Subaru Filters"). The above mentioned filter is one of those as well.
So I have a bunch of Subarus, so I buy OEM filters by the case, as one does, and the 15208AA12A that every EJ2x in the last 25 years can use fits fine. Here it is next to what came off of it in Japan https://imgur.com/S78Au1k
Yeah just trying to add an additional option for people. I know the Justy filters aren't hard to find, but I had one of these and gave it a try, so I thought I'd try and add to the knowledge base.
