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

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 for my 2015 Forester XT. Installation was a breeze (after watching a YouTube video). Material looks to be as good or better than the OEM filter. For the price, an extended mileage air filter is a no brainer. I’ll check it in about 30 days to see how it’s doing.

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.

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.

Have been using these in our 2015 Subaru Forester 2.5i for years. Way cheaper than the dealer filters and the fit is great. I'll keep using them!

Nice quality made air filter. Fits the car and does what it is supposed to do! Easy to install, don't need much mechanical know how. Keeps airflow going through the engine!

Fit's a 2013 Subaru Outback perfectly. Fit and finish looks good. Will probably buy this one again when it's time.

Was a tight fit like it should be!

Igual que el OEM a mucho mejor precio.

fits perfectly for a 2017 Forester

Very good

Great product and great price

El filtro es practicamente identico al vendido en la agencia y su calidad es bastante similar. Por el precio y la velocidad de entrega, lo recomiendo ampliamente.
