I see it available at O'Reilly for $7.49 (ST3330) rated at 99.5% but no micron mentioned. I might buy one with one of those $5off$10 coupons.

It's all Mann-Hummel now
It had holes in the tube (not slots) sorry the picture did not come out.
All the pictures are the same filter.
It was at O'Reilly and it was IIRC 7.49.
If the paint quality is any indication of the interior construction - it isn't good...
Somebody else will have to cut one open...

That's definitely a Wix date code. Most likely a reboxed Wix. Bosch 3323 crosses to Wix 57356, which I know to still use round holes. The efficiency is too high for it to be an XP.
Interesting ... I might check one out. Thanks for posting this.
Old thread..... but I got one of these filters yesterday - ST3323.
What is "Steel Technology" ???
I can't find it anywhere. It's not even mentioned on the Bosch web site. Google comes up with a big, fat zero.
It's slightly smaller than the one I removed.

They are probably using that term to indicate the filters have steel end caps.

Yes, I realize this is an old post... but it shows up on google with uncertain results. In response to the quote: it is a Wix manufactured filter

Last Bosch SteelTech I cut open was identical to a Wix.
I don't bother telling the people that come in and tell me Wix sucks I want the Bosch even though then they don't get the oil and filter sale price... Because they are usually snobby [censored] that deserve to waste money.
Sorry I'm in a bad mood.
