I cut open a Bosch 3330 filter this AM. A few observations - first, the can is thin at .33mm (.013"). Not a significant concern.
This filter was run over 2 oil changes, and the pics illustrate media tearing near both end caps. The media seemed weak and torn away easily from end caps. It's a decent filter for 8K KM operation, but not for 16K KM. This does not represent science, only my observations and opinions.
Vehicle: 2004 Toyota Sienna
Service time: ~1yr
Service mileage: ~16,000km
