Fit perfect and easily installed in 10 minutes
Fit my Subaru perfectly and easily installed in 10 minutes. I don’t know why people pay dealerships an exorbitant amount of money to replace their engine and cabin air filters. This is a great value for the money. No doubt that I will buy again next year.

Very easy to install in my 2022 Outback
It's an air filter and as I've had no engine problems I can only assume it's doing what it needs to do. Subaru has made it extremely easy to replace these filters and I do so about once a year. It takes about 5 minutes to do a full replacement if you include everything from opening the package to opening the hood of the car, etc. The old filters hold up well and show no signs of breaking down when I remove them. I'll keep buying these as long as they're made!

Do it yourself and save $
This works great in my 2021 Subaru Outback. Saved me some money on my yearly maintenance by replacing it myself and went in easily.

Subaru OEM Part. Fits 2021 Forester Sport.
It is indeed a Subaru OEM part. The installation is easy as well, fits perfectly. Had a little bit of a scare since the filter I pulled out which was the factory installed filter the car came with had a different part number. But looking up on oem/dealer websites indicate the the factory installed filter part is no longer available and this is the alternative. We did put it side by side and eyeballed the dimensions to be the same. Quick shipping as well, arrived ahead of estimated time. Could do with some sort of a discount to make it lucrative to order it off of Amazon rather than going to the nearest dealer to get it. The only major gripe I had was the there was no extra packaging over the box the filter comes in. The box did seem to endure some disfiguration due to shipping but the filter itself didn't seem to be damaged.
