I just saw this on ebay last night. Its a pink STI oil Filter. Seems to be the genuine thing. Whats the difference between this and the usual one that sells for $15?

thats expensive

Whats the difference? It's pink!

Yep, and it'll look very pretty buried underneath your engine

I would suggest the only way to know how different it is, you will need to buy it and make up a test rig to test its flow properties.

Yeah i was looking at that earlier too.

It'll only stay on the car for 5000km. All of a sudden your oil change goes from $105 to $160 .. Not gonna bother.

I usually just get a Ryco which is pretty good quality so i'm told.

The Ryco filters are actually larger in diameter than the factory one, which means that they sit ever so slightly closer to the exhaust manifold.

A wrapped aftermarket manifold can actually rest against the Ryco filter, where as the stock filter clears it fine.

Use the stock one wherever possible, its only 3-4 dollars more than the Ryco.

I use them, I have a few used ones lying around if you wanna cut one in half to compare it to a normal one.

^^ Where do you get them and how much?

I don't like Ryco, they only screw on 2 or 3 turns before the 'O' ring is clamped. The Subaru OE filter is more like 8 turns of thread, better security.
