FramExtra Guard CA9997 Replacement Engine Air Filter for Select Subaru Models, Provides Up to 12 Months or 12,000 Miles Filter Protection

Perfect fit, saved a bundle over car parts store and/or car dealer pricing.

As proud owners of a 2017 Subaru Outback, we’ve been loyal to FRAM Extra Guard CA9997 air filters for quite some time now. Our satisfaction with these filters remains high, as they consistently deliver the performance we need.We opt for a more frequent replacement cycle, subscribing to an autoship every six months rather than the advertised 12 months or 12,000 miles. This schedule suits our car's demands perfectly, especially since my husband is keen on regular maintenance. True enough, by the six-month mark, the filter is ready for a swap, usually looking its duty by then.I stick to a three-month interval for oil changes and, while the filter still looks serviceable at that point, the combined renewal of both oil and air filter every half-year leaves our Outback feeling rejuvenated.Besides the noticeable boost in performance post-maintenance, the cost-effectiveness of these filters is a win. Doing it ourselves saves a good chunk of change compared to having it replaced during an oil change service. Plus, it's a straightforward task that doesn't take much time or effort.Overall, we're very happy with the FRAM filters. They're a budget-friendly, easy-to-manage choice that keeps our Subaru in top-notch condition.

Perfect fit in my Subaru Outback. Easy to install. Great quality from a well known brand.

The filter works as it should. i have used these FRAM filters for years. the reason i gave it 1 less star is they are removing material to save on cost. the picture shows there are fewer baffles (less surface area for air to pass through).just another example of the less product and increased price.anyway the filter still works, i just wanted to make a note of that so you can make an informed decision.

Perfect fit. Saved money on shop price.

Did not fit my 2019 Outback. Not going to give a bad review because it is a good product, but beware if you have a 2015-2019 Outback as mine did not fit.

Another Great product from Fram, my go to filter vendor for decades. Got this for my recently purchased 2015 Subaru Forester at less than half the cost with better quality and filtering than the OEM.

My Subaru Forester seemed like it was losing some mpgs so I knew it was time to replace the engine air filter. I was right. The filter was very dirty. I was happy to see the Fram filter had more pleats than the 2018 Forester engine air filter. This should lead to performance gains. I noticed my mpgs go up immediately. It was easy to install and fit perfect. Definitely a great value as the OEM filter was twice as much money for a replacement. Sticking with the Fram filter moving forward.
