2017 Subaru BRZ Air Filter: Specs & Service

The engine filter protects the flat-four’s intake system from dust and debris while supporting consistent airflow. A restricted filter can contribute to reduced fuel economy or duller throttle response. Mike Shaw Subaru in Thornton can inspect the filter and housing before installing the correct replacement part.

• Applies to the 2.0-liter flat-four engine
• Inspection includes the filter and its housing

• Scheduled replacement interval: 15,000 miles
• Helps filter air entering the cabin
• Inspection can identify visible dust or debris
