Again I erred. The Bosch filter that preceeded this incident was a 3325. It had no issues start to finish. Have used many of them. I have a shelf of correct filters for four cars. I didn't mean to add to the confusion.
Mea culpa.

Mea culpa.
Baldwin makes very well- built filters in the USA; however, they are not in the efficiency race. Their reason to exist is to match the OEM specifications, efficiency and flow. They are sold all over the world, manufactured in the USA and owned by Parker-Hannifin Corp. From what I can tell your Suzuki filter would be a Baldwin B33, which is the same exact filter I use on my 2025 Toyota Rav4 and your Ford filter crosses to a Baldwin B7449. You would have to get on their website to find a local place to purchase them. Amazon has them for about twice the price of what you could buy locally. They are very well-built filters to OEM specs. However, if you are looking to filter bacteria and viruses out of your engine oil, you will have to look elsewhere. LOL! Here is a link to their home page. https://www.baldwinfilters.com/us/en.html
