jeffx Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) Any advice on correct air filter replacement for a SPFI EA 82. The replacement specified at Checker only fits if I mount it upside down for some reason. The one specified is a Microfilter MGA4303 Thanks.

GeneralDisorder Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 Go to the dealer - they are like $12, etc. GD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffx Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Any other ideas on aftermarket replacement airfilters for a 88 GL Wagon SPFI? As much as I'd like to drive to the Porsche/Subaru/Mars Rover Dealership, any advice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I'm sorry - Is fitment really a word? Wouldn't fit do nicely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCSP700 Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Have them mail them to you. Get 3 make it worth your while. And grab some oil filters, and drain plug gaskets while you're at it And yes, fitment is a word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted November 20, 2010 Share Posted November 20, 2010 I'm sorry - Is fitment really a word? Wouldn't fit do nicely? 1) Fitment is a word. 2) It is a more accurate and therefore a better word than "fit" in this context. 3) Keep your comments on the subject of the thread and not the OP please.

The replacement specified at Checker only fits if I mount it upside down for some reason. The one specified is a Microfilter MGA4303 Thanks. You didn't specify your model-year, but it really shouldn't matter on this item. And, just to clarify, I believe that the brand name is "Microgard" (according to the website). Although I haven't heard of Microgard (not unusual), the other brands listed on the website are the right ones for your car, so the Microgard MGA4303 probably is also correct. What makes you believe that it does not fit correctly? After looking at mine, I imagine that you see the filter wobbling around in the lower part of the filter box. This is normal, as the top part fits snugly over the filter, sealing it and locating it within the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
