Hey Jake
I run the Fram ThoughGuard TG3593A on my VDubarus 2001 EJ25 because of the size diff'
Subi OEM 2.625"D x 2.375"H = 12.8533CubicIns = 0.4451Pints
Fram TG3593A 3.000"D x 3.000"H = 21.2058CubicIns = 0.7344Pints
Keep in mind that there are some gutts to a filter that use up some of that available vol'
Also, my EJ25 is mounted on a 2009Vintage SmallCar Mount & there is no "fit" issue

Hey Richard, I'd imagine there's about a cup of oil or less in the OEM
Subaru oil filter, 8 ounces up here. Its a bit of an issue for me, in that
I think a little more capacity would really help oil temps.
Does anybody know of a bigger filter that fits the 2.5 Subaru engine?
Thanks, Jake

The oil level will go down by the amount of oil that remains in your
engine block and heads plus the amount of oil that remains in your oil
filter. The level will go up as the oil returns from those areas to
the oil drip pan.
Not trick. Maybe dumb. Larry suggests about 1/2 qt and Rob say
you have to check every car.
The oil in the block and heads doesn't count, since it is there
when you drain the oil. It is just the amount that goes into the
new filter that I'm curious about. The filter is pretty small.
Guess I'll measure and see.
Thanks,
Richard
