Review: Fits perfectly on 2015 WRX; old filter was incredibly dirty and clogged at only 26K miles, WELL worth the money! - I have a 2015 WRX with about 26K miles, and decided to go ahead and take a look at the air filter. Well, the factory one was HORRIBLY dirty (and I live in the city and have not exposed my car to any particular harsh or dusty environments). I ordered this filter and it came quickly and most importantly fits perfectly; it is completely identical to the factory unit. It took all of 5 minutes, and now my car seems to even pull a little better (but could be my imagination). Regardless, this is an essential maintenance item that should be replaced MORE frequently than what is recommended by the manufacturer (in my opinion). Subaru recommends replacing the air filter at 30K miles, and then at 90K, which is WAY too long. Going forward I will be replacing mine at 15K miles at least. Review: Fits 2017 WRX, OEM, snug fitting - Well priced, slightly cheaper than the parts department at my local Subaru dealership. OEM, perfect snug fit and is compatible with my 2017 WRX. ## Features - Genuine Subaru OEM Part - Fits 2015-2021 Subaru WRX (2.0 Turbo) - Fits 2014-2018 Subaru Forester XT (2.0 Turbo) - Fits 2005-2009 Subaru Outbacl/Legacy (2.5 Non Turbo) - Fits 2006 Subaru Tribeca (All Trims) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ANP3BIU | | Automotive Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Brand | Subaru | | Brand Name | Subaru | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 277 Reviews | | Fit Type | Vehicle Specific Fit | | Item Type Name | Element Air Cleaner | | Item Weight | 227 g | | Manufacturer | Subaru | | Manufacturer Part Number | 16546AA10A | | Model | 16546AA10A | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | OEM Equivalent Part Number | 16546 AA10A | | OEM Part Number | 16546 AA10A | | Product Grade | Replacement Part | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | What Is In the Box | Element-Air Clnr | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Subaru - **Fit Type:** Vehicle Specific Fit - **Manufacturer:** Subaru - **OEM Part Number:** 16546 AA10A - **Product Grade:** Replacement Part ## Images ![16546AA10A Element Engine Air Filter, 1 Pack - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91aCYEfkWEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits perfectly on 2015 WRX; old filter was incredibly dirty and clogged at only 26K miles, WELL worth the money! *by O***L on 13 April 2017* I have a 2015 WRX with about 26K miles, and decided to go ahead and take a look at the air filter.

OEM, perfect snug fit and is compatible with my 2017 WRX. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Expensive, but... *by P***R on 14 December 2018* Scotty Kilmer, my favourite YouTube car mechanic, says engines and engine repairs are very expensive, but the recommended fluids and filters are cheap in comparison, and are least likely to hurt the engine. When I feel my car is nearer end-of-life, then I will skimp and buy non-Subaru parts. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/497593461-16546aa10a-element-engine-air-filter-1-pack](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/497593461-16546aa10a-element-engine-air-filter-1-pack) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-11-07*
