    A spin-on filter is normally changed along with the oil, and dirty oil past its change interval is the usual reminder. Before you replace this filter because of a leak at the canister or an oil pressure light, rule out a low oil level and a loose drain plug first. Each engine takes one filter.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is this the Subaru Outback oil filter for the 2000-2021 model with the H4 2.5L, or the 2020-2021 model with the H4 2.4L?

    Yes. Bosch 3974 fits the 2000-2021 Subaru Outback H4 2.5L and the 2020-2021 Outback H4 2.4L. For another Subaru, look up your year and engine in the "Vehicles it fits" section.

    Is this a 2014 Subaru Forester oil filter for both the H4 2.5L and the H4 2.0L?

    Yes. Bosch 3974 fits the 1998-2021 Subaru Forester H4 2.5L and the 2014-2018 Forester H4 2.0L, so a 2014 model with either engine takes it.

    Can I use synthetic oil with this Bosch premium oil filter?

    Yes. Its synthetic-enhanced media is a best match for synthetic and semi-synthetic oil, and the filter is also suitable for conventional oil.

    What does the anti-drain back valve in this oil filter do?

    The silicone anti-drain back valve helps prevent dry starts in extreme temperatures. It does this throughout the full lifespan of the filter.
