That pressure drop allows the refrigerant to absorb heat more effectively, helping the A\/C system deliver consistent cabin cooling. Global Parts 3411612 is listed for 2015-2020 Subaru applications, including 2016-2020 Subaru WRX, 2016-2020 Subaru WRX STI, 2015-2018 Subaru Forester, 2016-2017 Subaru Crosstrek, 2015-2016 Subaru Impreza, and 2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek.
