Hi all just a quick question, I've decided to just do oil changes myself as it's a simple enough procedure but I'm a little confused as to which Ryco oil filter I should be using for my car, it's an 05 auto GT so it's the 2.0T engine, the Ryco site specifies a Z709 however next it is a note saying this is a transmission filter? the other one is a z436 so I just wanted to find out which filter is the correct one?
cheers

Might be worth ordering a batch of Genuine Subaru ones from the States. Approx $6ea if you order 6 IIRC.

I wouldn't be using anything but a genuine Subaru oil filter.
Plenty of good reasons to go genuine here.

The ryco site tells me the z709 for the FT but the z709 is a transmission filter, it's looking like I need the z436 but I think I'll just try get an OEM one from somewhere, any ideas where I can get them from easily? im in western sydney

Don't forget the crush ring for the sump plug too.

Post facelift is definitely z436 but don't know about Pre.

I thought post facelifts were MY07 onwards?
And your car needs a z436.

sorry it was a hasty reply, I meant pre-face lift.. apparently my brain doesn't think properly when I'm about to finish work

Anyway, if you are going to super cheap or auto pro or repco or similar they will have a big book that will tell you which one.

Z436
I've used ryco for the last 40,000kms. I change oil and filter every 7500kmm
