16 174
Possibly the 174th day of 2016? (June 22, 2016)

AB might mean Albion, IL
3 might mean third shift, especially since 00:33 likely means about a half hour past midnight.

Looks like a Champ design, Champ base plate and slotted center tube, made in Albion, IL

Correct ... except the 1 is not part of the date code. Fram just uses "6" for 2016 in this case.

This is due to the small size of that filter canister.
