Two Bosch Premium 3323, cut open.

[Sayjac]

The first one run 5300 miles ~ 8 month on 3.5L Honda using Super Tech 10k Full Syn 0w20. Replaced with another BP 3323 and Castrol Edge EP /(Gold) 0w20. Both BP, US made. *As an aside about posting pics, I no longer see "insert thumbnail" which was my preference. Less bandwidth used/needed. In my experience, worked well.

Second one run 4800 miles in ~1year, 3.0L Honda using QS Full Syn 0w20. Replaced with another BP 3323 and Amazon Basics Full Syn 0w20. Results from both filters, same as always. Boringly solid.

I had no issues with and liked the filter when it was made in US, Mexican ones have closed louvers, have 4 new ones sitting on shelve waiting to go into trash.

These look way better than the Bosch 3300 that was just posted.

Like Detective Bosch?

Two ends of the spectrum, only the name in common.

Both made on the same day back in 2019. Think the ones today would look as good?

Excellent quality on these two & ADBV is functional.
Good pics! And I too was scratching my head wondering why the "Thumbnail" insert doesn't show up lately. Another site "Upgrade" I suppose.

Unfortunately when they went to Mexico, "Bosch" became "Botch"... Not that they were perfect when Mann made them here, but they've definitely gotten worse.

As the recent Mexico coo BP anecdotes indicate, it's clear the answer is no. Date code format different too. I'd speculate if stayed same as topic US coo, the answer would be yes.

I've got 5 left purchased from RA made 2020, ~$4-4.50 including shipping. Decision to stash a dozen, something I've never done before, looks better with each c&p.

The silicone adbv on these, great. Still very pliable, and clean off the oil, like never used. Yeah, "thumbnail" postings worked well in my experience. Explains why I've been seeing full image pics.
