What's the bypass valve look like?
It looks like a exactly like Motorcraft. Silicon ADBV sits the same way on top very snug.

Why use BP oil? Bottom of the BBL, IMO.
What is the MC equivalent? Is this an FL-400S application? Doesn't the 400S have a thread-end coil spring bypass valve? Where is the bypass valve on this Bosch...I can't tell from the pics.
Yes, Bosch Premium 3422 cross-references to MC FL-400S.
it should be noted the motorcraft fl400s have shrunk in size
Why cut it open with so few miles on it ?
""it should be noted the motorcraft fl400s have shrunk in size""
They only do that when it's cold outside

Cool! I've got the Distance Plus version of this filter waiting to go in my wife's MKX at the 51,000 mile oil change. Should be another 2 months or so. Then in another 4-5 months we'll see what that looks like inside! 
It does look like a Motorcraft and a Purolator;since Bosch owns Purolator and what I understand are they one's calling the shots. I have heard people say that Purolator owns Bosch, whereas they are 180 degrees off. I would direct any questions to 'Katrina Hull Sr. Tech Specialist at Robert Bosch, Germany'. Her email address is [email protected]
She gave me the information concerning Purolator premium filters vs Group 7 filters, which are the same. Instead of speculating and guessing, why not ask the top shelf? Just FYI here is the information that she gave me concerning Group 7; very nice person.
Hi Jeff,
Thank you for your inquiry with Purolator. I do apologize for the delay in contact with you. The Group7 filters are a product of Purolator, therefore is simply a private brand that we manufacture. These filters are the same internally and are also the equivalent to the OE, therefore, the V4011 is the equivalent to the L24011.
I hope this information helps.
Your business is greatly appreciated.
Best regards / Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Katrina S. Hull

I just put one of these on my Subie, planning on a 6500 mile run, all highway, with M1 10w-30 HM.
