I posted this over at nabisco a few days ago, thought you guys could use the info too!

You guys can thank me later. 1st Subaru parts of Auburn (https://www.1stsubaruparts.com/partscat.html) has A FEW HUNDRED of the highly coveted BLACK Tokyo Roki 0100 filters in stock.

Call them up, I just orderd 10 filters from them. They are very nice and very fast. You won't be disappointed. No, I do not work for them as they are in Oregon, and I'm in St. Louis.

How much do they charge for a dozen filters?
I bought 12 from subaru of gwinett probably a few months ago for somewhere around $35 or so. A great deal IMO.

Thanks volkl23.

Ummm why are these filters so highly coveted over the regulars? Can someone fill me in please...

Rev · 12-02-2005, 09:20 AM

I think the latest ones have degraded in quality ... those black Roki are japanese, I think the new ones are Purolator ...

Volk, Thanks for posting this! I just ordered 30, and there are only 70 left.

Regarding the black vs white filter question, the black ones appearently have a much better filter element. Plus the white one had a recall for leakage. Some say the black ones are being brought back by SOA, however the Auburn Subaru parts guy said the recall only applied to a batch of white ones. BTW SubaruPartsForYou has the black one in stock but only sells them in batches of 12, for msrp.

Thanks, for the clarification. I ordered 20 today. The price difference from my dealership (Smith Cairns) is insane! They want $11 a filter at Smith Cairns & $4.81 a filter from 1st Subaru parts of Auburn.

Just bought my car from there. Guess I'll be asking for Jason from now on. A couple of the guys there struck me as kinda' shady.

Does Bosch make a filter that fits our cars?

Wrathchild · 12-02-2005, 11:18 AM

The japanese Roki filter has a black housing.

Just let them know by phone that you want the black one's if they have any left. Jason said they were going through them pretty quickly.

Yes, the Bosch 3300. AutoZone tends to carry them. Also of a similar size and quality are the Mobil1 M1-108, the Purolator PureOne PL14612, or the standard Purolator L14612.

You can also get a slightly larger oil filter (more filtration surface area, slight increase in the car's oil capacity, zero downsides) from any of these companies: Bosch 3323, Mobil1 M1-110, or Purolator PL14610 (or L14610).

I honestly prefer the PL14610 to the OEM black one. The filtration medium is excellent in the PureOne, and since it's got more active filter area, it'll not only filter better, but filter longer.

Oh, and it's about the same price as the OEM black one and available at Pep Boys.

I don't know why you guys are so anal about getting "subaru" oil filters. The pure one purolator is a great filter that can easily be found at the local auto parts store.
