Alfa oil filter valve

[Mastro Subaru / Alfa Romeo Of Tampa <mastro@domain.elided>]

Fred and all;

There is NO 60574569 filter in the USA. NO part number, NO reference.
Alfa supplies ONE filter, 60574554, the new smaller filter. 

The existing filter is obviously good enough for Alfa to warranty the
cars for it. As we discussed, it appears to have a check valve in the
top. Part carries a 6 month warranty.
