Hi,I called the Bosch hotline.
The guy said that Bosch Distance+ D3323 is rated 3,000 miles / 3 month.
He recommended the Purolator PSL14610 which is rated for 10,000 miles....
I'm now wondering if the folks that man the "Bosch hotline" are the same folks that work the "Purolator Response Office". I say that because having previously communicated with the PRO via email I can attest to the fact that some of the answers/info I received was in direct conflict with information on the P1 website, including the the oil filter recommendation for the oci. There was other absurd filter bypass event frequency information provided in the same email exchange.
The Bosch Distance Plus has a rated holding capacity of 29 grams, one the tops rated including the Ultra which no longer provides a spec for holding capacity as, if iirc they did in the past. If the Bosch Long Life, which I've never seen in real life, has a rated holding capacity of 22 grams and the Bosch website says good till 10k, logic says the BD+ would be easily good for 10+k mi., Having personally run the BD+, as linked previously, to ~13.5K/2oci's I'd have no concern with the BD+ to 15k, even with no current recommendation on the Bosch site.
Point being, while I like and have used Purolator/Bosch oil filters including the P1 and the BD+, based on my experience and this most recent absurd information regarding the BD+ oci from the "Bosch hotline" I'd put little faith in the authoritativeness of the information being provided by either the B hotline or the PRO.
I noticed I left out the Wix choice in my previous post. The 51356 has been superseded by the 57356. The latter was using a nitrile adbv, rather than silicone used in the 51356. That may now have changed, but I can't say. The other consideration is if it has typical Wix thread end bypass, the media area will likely be less, perhaps substantial, than the other choices listed.
