Is this a good deal?
Are Bosch Premium oil filters about like Fram orange cans and Purolator white filters?
Thanks.

I think normally they're like $11 at Walmart for the Matrix. Which is more than a Fram Ultra at $9.
edit: looks like a different one than I was thinking.

Bosch Premium (4-dogot part numbers, 3xxx) are reboxed P1's.
The Bosch Workshop (5-digit part number starting with 7, 7xxxxWS) are reboxed Classics.

Walmart sells the Bosch Distance filters(~$12 each), I gather those are like Fram Ultras.

Yes, they are the 4 digit filters. So $5 for a Purolator Pure One(or Purolator One) instead of $8 at the auto part stores.
Since they are reboxed Purolator One oil filters, do they suffer from the tearing thing?

Yes, Menard's has Quaker State filters.
I have never heard anything good or bad on this site about Quaker State oil filters.
The Bosch Premium oil filters use a silicone ADBV while the QS oil filters use a nitrile ADBV.

The Bosch Distance plus is more closely related to a Mobil 1 filter with a blended media but still very nice, the only Bosch filter I'd use.
The Bosch Long Life is the closest to an Ultra, I've only seen them on Amazon. The Distance Plus is a blend like a Mobil 1, it's only advantage is can thickness, they're pretty tank-like, but expensive.
It sounds like the Bosch Premium for $5 each is a pretty decent deal.
If it's made in Germany buy it...
does the bosch distance filter have any "mileage rating"? 10,000 or 15,000
I forget the price, but my local menards has probably a dozen(if not more) Loose, fl-500s's sitting on their clearance shelf. Not boxed, not shrink wrapped, sitting out all loosey-goosey....
which i really odd since they don't normally carry motorcraft filters, just QS, and Fram orange cans.

Bosch LL is a reboxed Purolator Synthetic; Bosch LL cans made since July 2015 (date code starting with F07G, or any number higher than 7) will most likely be Bosses underneath.

I find it hilarious that people think Germans are incapable of making a mediocre product.
If that were the case, BMW and Mercedes would never break down and need service.

We are talking oil filters here not cars. I have German made Bosch filters in my stash and they are in a league of their own for quality

So pretty much a "just cause I said so" on the oil filters.

I just dont have the time or patience to type it all out. German filters are highly regarded for quality on this forum. You can do you own research.

Yes, I know people get warm fuzzies about a filter when they cut it open and it looks good, when looks have NOTHING to do with a filter's ability to filter oil. About the only thing you can glean from cutting open a filter is if the media is torn.
Yes, let's choose oil and filters with our emotions instead of actual facts, sound advice.
