The same make filter is on its second OCI on the Honda CR-V to take it out to about 13k. This will be the second one to do this. The first Bosch D+ mirrored your photos and am expecting the current one to do the same. Stout filter that holds up nicely.

No they're not as good as the Ultras.
Per their website -
"Performs with any formulation of motor oil. 99.9%* efficiency, greater capacity and greater burst resistance strength than conventional oil filters. *Based on ISO 4548-12 at 40 microns on D3500 **Compared to conventional filters"
Thanks for the info! I stocked up on a ton of Amsoil EAO filters, AC Delco filters (which I will most likely return) and Fram Ultra filters. Between the Amsoil and Fram Ultras, I don't know which ones to run and which ones are better. The Amsoil filters are taller than the Fram Ultra filters and I have never had an issue with the Amsoil filters over the years. I heard Fram makes the Amsoil EAO filters now to Amsoil specs. I don't know if that is true either.

I have no doubt it would, that was my plan to start (2 7000-7500 oci) but I decided to put the car on a 10,000 schedule like the Civic and this was a nice convenient time to do so at approximately ~160,000 that is easier for me to remember...

Looks great! I still couldn't bring myself to use one. No reason to with the Fram Ultra so readily available at a great price. Thanks for cutting and posting!
They were a good deal when Bosch & AAP had the MIRs & oil change specials when they were first introduced-at regular price, they're overpriced, big time.
