While changing my oil this weekend I noticed two higher grades of filter listed on the Bosch 3323 packaging, "High Premium" and "Performance Premium". The most recent reference in this forum appears to be from 2014, and a search of online retailers did not locate any availability. The Performance brand has a large "DIRT" logo in the photo.
Has anyone seen these offered in the recent past (less than a year)?
Is Bosch's packaging out-of-date?
Did these filters disappear in a change of ownership or manufacturer?
Are they available, just not in my country?
I've used Mobil1, Bosch, WIX Xp, and Premium Guard, depending on price (and, tbh, my mood that day on just how important 5 microns or 0.05% filtration efficinecy differences really are). Frequent changes (5-8000 miles) are more important to me than specific filter brand. I also do things like change oil at 40% life if i'm getting ready for a 2000 mile trip. Nothing would ruin a vacation—specifically, for me and NOT my family—more than a service reminder when my tools and pan are a thousand miles away at home.
