It had better media, o-ring and A.D.B. valve.

I got mine on line, but theyu still didnt save the Rav-4 - dead motor at 67K miles. I am at a loss on where to go from here to get these things to last. A dealer OC with a Thailand service filter was the death of the motor, unfortunately, My spousal-unit is immune to engine noise so I didnt find out till its too late and the warranty had expired. Lets see if we can keep the subie running. The deals are good Now. Got the Subie 2.5 X at 18,700 on a 20800 sticker. The base vehicle is loaded with good stuff. Would like to have wiper park area windshield glass heaters and heated OS mirrors up here in the frozen north though.
