Another US made BP 3323 off 2.4L Honda for ~5500mi, one year. March last year to current, Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20 used. Same oil and filter combination went back. Same section of louvers shown, since they open two directions element flipped to show both. Still have a few of these RA purchased filters left. Been great for me.

Thanks for the autopsy. I've always liked the 'feel' of Bosch oil filters.
....but bi-directional louvers! Now I love 'em.

Pretty much all louvers are bi-directional.
is that an equivalent to the p1?
Looks great
In my experience with the PL14610 and in observation of other anecdotes, excepting sealing gasket isn't ptfe coated, same filters. When I compared them, even same number of pleats.
Letter is L. As noted in OP same oil and filter combination went back. Mobil 1 Extended Performance 0w20.
You're welcome.

Looks great no wonder you keep with them. Walmart used to stock them but I haven’t seen them there in quite a while.
thanks for the info, but for others.. this is the last of the us-made Bosch oil filters, the ones now made elsewhere are terrible quality.. Don't expect to run out and get a 3323 THIS good anymore. Hey, had to let the newbies know!
True that. That said, as it's been mentioned here quite often I think the majority those that frequent this board are aware of the coo and quality change (only reason not mentioned by me). As noted in follow up comments though while the topic BP3323 non available, current PL14610 element very close if not identical. And, I'm also currently running a newer lower priced red L14610 variant on a family member's Rogue, I'll be curious to see how that one does.
Now, "newbs" sufficiently informed.
As an aside, I've read a fair number complaints about filters from RA, shipping, packaging/damage etc, but I'm glad I grabbed these in two lots of 6 before coo change. Perhaps I was lucky, but packaging and shipping of the BP3323 was not an issue.

Picked one up for $5 on Amazon not to long ago to try on the old Buick. Thanks for the C&P!
I've not seen a PL14610 or L14610 not made in the US, knock wood. Have two L14610 now with US made "F" date code, same as topic, and R year code. Same goes for the TL tech filters I have, all US made. Hopefully stays that way. I don't know if Bosch or M&H' call to move topic filter production to Mexico, either way anecdotes since show a quality decline since.Great looking filter. PL14610 makes me wonder if it's made in US. Do you know if the L14610 was? Nice to have similar options when your US 3323's dry up. Good pics & that Honda appears to be running clean.
I hope you received a US made one.

Recently purchased two bosch 3330's for around $5 each. Hope mine look that nice inside. Thanks for the C&P
Can you show me a C&P example of this broad statement you issued.
My dad bought a case of 12 for his Ridgeline and my Odyssey. Be sad when they run out. They always look perfect.
