pearlm30 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Got an OEM fuel filter with shiny finish, but the one in MY98 forester has a black finish. Just curious if there are any differences on the two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) subaru has sourced filters from multiple manufacturers in the past, so, probably not a problem. Should still be built to Subaru specs. (I do miss the Roki filters....) Edited January 27, 2017 by 1 Lucky Texan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Different manufacturers use different finishes for corrosion/rust prevention. Some use a galvanized or other alloy plating, and some just paint them with some black paint or use a black powder coat. Outside appearance Doesn't affect the way it works inside. As long as it's the right shape and has the same inlet/outlet it's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
