Bosch D+ made in USA

[Donald]

I got a Bosch D+ from Amazon and the box (plastic box) has a side panel showing how much dirt the D+ can hold vs 3 other economy filters. However it says %grams of dirt and then says 29.1, the next filter is 19.5 and so on. But who in the USA came up with the printing? Its not "% grams" its "total grams" or just "grams". If it was % then it would be roughly 150% of the best economy filter. I would have also liked them to further define the 99.9% efficiency (micron size, single or multi-pass).

And come on, a cardboard box is fine, no need for a plastic box unless its made from recycled plastic, and even then I am not sure its needed. The box is a "5" and can be recycled however.

Its a D3520, not carried by Walmart, they stop at D3510. Very large in physical size.

Its hard to satisfy a BITOG filter buyer....

Seems like you're nitpicking the BD+ here. Most of the information you've posted with the exception of the %grams point, has been posted here before.

My 3323 BD+ says, 300% greater holding capacity in addition to the graph showing % grams.

Many here like the plastic box. And yes the 99.9% doesn't include a micron level, again posted here before.

Based on those facts, not sure why you purchased the BD+ to begin with. I think Amazon takes returns, don't they?

I bought the D+ as I did not want to spring for an Amsoil Ea.

The D+ is a great oil filter, one of the best for PCMO apps. Just put it on and don't worry about a thing for 10-15k.

At Amazon the Mobil 1 and Bosch D+ are about the same price. But you may have to buy a 2 pack of Mobil 1.

I've got 4 Bosch D+ filters waiting on the next 3 years of service the Civic will see.

Its worded wrong on their website also.

I am a math major and so things like that stick out like a sore thumb.

I wonder if the Bosch D+ filters are better than amsoil and Mobil 1 Extended Performance filters?

So the Bosch D+ filters can handle 10k km easily?

The Bosch D+ could handle 20K km (12,427 miles) if the engine is pretty new and clean.

^I'd agree with that, especially if the engine is relatively clean already.
