Best fuel filter?

Post by AWD_addict »

What brand of fuel filter does everyone recommend?
Is the Subaru one (part# 42072 PA010) the best?

I bought a Fram, but assuming the stocker is reasonably priced, I may get it next time.

Thanks for the quick replies. Looks like I'll be going OEM.
Cliff- Prices look to be in the $21 to $26 range.

I usually just pick up a Purolator fuel filter at Advance. It's like 15 or 16 bucks. Purolator does make the OEM Subaru oil filters, so it's quite possible that Purolator makes the OEM fuel filters too. In any case, I generally trust Purolator's products.
