Is this a low-volume application? That would explain the rampant reboxing for this particular filter.
Contrast this to GM's Ecotec, where Hengst, Mann, Mahle, and Purflux all make their own filters for that engine (Mann HU6007x from Spain, Purflux L264A from France, Hengst E630H from the USA, and Mahle's comes from India). Hengst is the OEM for this Ecotec, and the ACDelco and Hengst boxes contain the same exact filter.
Filtron is owned by Wix, and Bosch used to be a business partner with Mann (they co-owned Purolator up until a few years ago, when Bosch backed out, but Mann/Purolator still supplies most of Bosch's filters)
Anyway, thank you for posting
It's by no means a low volume application: the DV6 is used by Ford, Peugeot, Citroen and is without doubt their best selling engine in Europe.
