I believe so.

Advanced Synthetic Fiber Media has 300 percent Greater Capacity provides longer life and 99.9 percent Efficiency reduces engine wear
Heavy Gauge Case provides increased durability and increased burst resistance
Heavy Gauge Steel Base Plate (500 PSI) which provides 2x?s greater burst resistance strength and increased durability
Silicone Anti-drainback Valve Protects engine against dry starts and provides for longer life
PTFE Synthetic Gasket helps with the ease of installation and provides longer life

If find in suspect that the manufacturer does not have the same specs as listed on Amazon.com
I read the blog concerning the inside comparisons to other filters.

Advanced Synthetic Fiber Media has 300 percent Greater Capacity (29g) >>>> 17g (capacity of Purolator Pure One).
Different medias?
Different medias?
And main conclusion:
P1: 99.9% at 20 micron
BD+: 99.9% at 40 micron
Lol

What Bosch website did you look at?

Does not look synthetic to me.
But this one looks like it could be.

It was the first one you listed. Amazon states its synthetic. Either way its a great oil filter for my application, when they are on sale.
It's a synthetic blend media, ie., synthetic fibers and cellulose media. Used to give that information on the Bosch website also including an up to 15k mi fci recommendation. It is most comparable to Mobil 1 oil filter.
The Bosch website used to give more information when the BD+ was first introduced, but now it's much less comprehensive. Same goes for much of the other filters information there too. Not sure of reason but no longer being a part Purolator owner might be a reason, but that's just speculation on my part.

When the BD+ was first released & they were nearly FAR, they were a GREAT deal, now, there are better filters for less money (Fram Ultra for example).
