Two Subaru Service Bulletins address the issue of clogging oil line mesh filters in turbo cars.
Bulletins are dated 2007 and 2008.
Each bulletin includes a picture of the screen and bolt where it resides. A warning to note the direction of screen placement is included.
Unfortunately picture in the first bulletin seems to show the filter direction opposite to direction shown on picture in the second bulletin.
What gives?

Make sure the mesh filter screen is installed in the proper direction; incorrect installation will prevent oil supply to the turbocharger. (Note direction, in picture to the right).
