sea#3 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 The 1990-94 legacy has a remote filter just below the battery on the frame rail , if you have never changed it it probably won't hurt to change it Here is a link for the kit http://www.subarupartsforyou.com/cp_partdetail.php?partid=10336 Hope that helps SEA#3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveeen Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Strangely the filter itself is more expensive than the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hmm.... Learn something new every day. I swear my 93 didn't have one, but I just looked at a 90, and sure enough there is one there. Never noticed those before. Time to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 The external filter was an add-on kit done by the factory due to a manufacturing issue with the transmission and mean to stop any "bigger" metal objects. It's supposed to be a "lifetime" filter. It's really not a filter, it's just another screen type filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
