Just curious, which one do you think is better and why?
Asmoil EAO vs BoschDistancePlus

wrong forum. distance plus has a higher efficiency to filter out more particles. not sure about the construction of each of them for use in long OCIs although i'm sure either would work fine. i'm running a pureone (same as distance plus) on my car right now for 15,000 mile OCIs and it holds up fine. so i'd go for whichever costs less, which i'm sure would be the bosch
Opps my bad, I forgot about the oil filter forum for one hot minute. Yah, I am using BoschDistancePlus for 10,000 miles on Pennzoil Ultra.
But I just won a EAO12 filter on ebay for $5. That's why Im asking.

that is a lot of filter for $5. i would use that in a heartbeat. that is what pureones on sale cost around here

PureOne may have the same efficiency as the BDP, but the capacity is about half as much, according to their advertising. So not the same filter. It would be interesting to see a real comparison of filtering between the BDP and EAO. I would think they would be comparable. The BDP costs less, esp with an oil change special. I would think it would be a good match with PU for 10K miles if you are getting your oil good and hot often (longer trips).
Oh yah, I forgot to mention I am going to use my SAE 5W-30 100% Synthetic Motor Oil stash.
The bosch distance filters do not have the wire mesh backed media like the amsoil, royal purple, donalson syntec, and fram extended guard filters do.

is that really a big deal? the bosch still filters better without the mesh backing so why does it matter? i'm not trying to be a smart*** or anything it's a serious question

I don't know I assume it is more of a long drain durability thing. I wonder what bosch is using to support their synthetic media.

The wire support is needed when fiberglass synthetic media is used because the fiberglass is brittle and will crack when making a bend for a filter pleat. The metal support has nothing to do with long drain durability - only with the type of media being used. Bosch long distance does not use the fiberglass media but a different type of blended synthetic media that can be bent without cracking. Personally, the cracking potential bothers me and I would go with the Bosch.

Me personaly I like a proven long drain synthetic media like the donaldson syntec media (amsoil) over the new bosch synthetic/blend media.

i noticed here and there, ppl say bosch d+ is the same as pure one? is this proven or theory? bd+ sure seems to be much heavier
No, the P1 and the Bosch Premium are the same with the exception of the can/texture. BDP does have a heavier can/base and and greater holding capacity, 29g vs 13g for the P1.
There is a couple threads here (somewhere) with pics of the Advance Auto display showing the differences.

Bosch does not use a full synthetic media or any synthetic media like the EaO,RP,FG.UPF,TRD.

They are basically the same yes (search)but the DP has a slightly thicker can and media hence the longer OCI capability's,same filtering ratings.
