2025 Subaru Forester Oil Filter in Greeley, CO

Replacing both together gives the fresh oil a filter ready to capture debris. A loaded filter can open its bypass valve, allowing oil to circulate without filtration. The vehicle's service history and the manufacturer's schedule help determine when the next service is due.

• Filter replaced with the oil

• Bypass valve may open as the filter loads
