Bosch Distance Plus - Any Love?

[JZiggy]

I've been using Bosch Distance Plus (BD+) oil filters on my cars for a while. They seem to be extremely well made. I usually run them about 10-15,000 miles (2 oil changes).

Are these filters getting much love here? Anyone running them?

Running one on my Ram Daytona Hemi 5.7L. No surprises to report. It did tighten down a tad differently by "my feel". Sure seem made well.

Its a Purolator not my choice in filters thats for sure..

The Distance Plus seems to be fine ... no reports of any problems with that particular Bosch line.

Bosch Distance Plus is a good filter for 8-10k or longer, but it is a little expensive compares with Fram Ultra.

Im using one on one of my Sonata 2.4l with TGMO. So far very good, no problems at all.
Don't see them in the stores here in Canada.
The filter is maybe 5 years old.

Hope to use it for 15 000 miles.

The D+ is a great filter, despite it being made by Purolator.

It is Purolator's competitor to the M1 (which is made by Fram). You can probably do the same 15k OCI with your D+

Yes it's a good filter but the cost doesn't justify non full synthetic media but it's still quality

What are your preferred alternatives to this filter?

M1 is the closest thing to the D+

But for long drains, you'd be better off with a wire-backed synthetic like Fram Ultra or Wix XP/Napa Platinum. Regular Wix/Napa Gold is usually good to 10k as well.

Honestly the Bosch don't even have synthetic media .. For the same amount you can get a quality filter from a quality company.

Thanks guys. Maybe it'll be a Wix XP at the next change.

I was tempted to grab a Bosch Distance + but as 901Memphis said the price isn't worth it. That's my thoughts

There are a number of 10,000+ mi Distance Plus filters dissected here.

Nothing at all to complain about so far except that they are usually more $ than a Fram Ultra.
