There isn’t a single oil filter number that fits every 2014 Impreza. The correct filter depends on the engine configuration and the market where the car was sold.
Why the part number varies across models
Subaru used different engine designs and specifications for the Impreza in different regions and trims. In the United States, most 2014 Impreza models run a 2.0-liter flat-four engine, but other markets or configurations may use a different engine code. Because oil filters are matched to engine design—thread size, gasket type, and valve clearance—the same model year can require more than one filter part number.
How to identify the exact oil filter for your car
The steps below help you confirm the correct filter without guessing.
- Locate the engine code on the engine block or under-hood label. Common US-market engines for the Impreza include a 2.0-liter flat-four, but verify the exact code (for example, FB20 or another engine designation) to be sure.
- Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) and use Subaru’s official parts lookup or contact a Subaru dealer to cross-reference by year, model, and engine code. The VIN will map to a specific OEM oil filter for your car.
- Consult the owner's or service manual, which typically lists the OEM part number for the oil filter used on that engine.
- When buying aftermarket filters, compare the filter’s thread size, gasket design, and overall dimensions to the OEM specification to ensure a correct fit.

Where to purchase or cross-reference the part
Your best sources are the official Subaru parts catalog, a local dealership, or reputable auto parts retailers. Entering the year, model, and engine code will display the exact OEM number and compatible aftermarket options. Always verify fitment against the engine code to avoid mismatches.
Summary
The oil filter part number for a 2014 Subaru Impreza is not universal; it depends on the engine type and market. To obtain the exact part number, identify the engine code (and use the VIN for catalog lookup), then reference Subaru’s official parts listings or your vehicle’s manuals. If you provide your engine code or VIN, I can help determine the precise OEM oil filter number for your car.
