Just to be clear, Auto Extra oil filters are a 'made for' AE jobber filter, the one shown made in China? 'I' wouldn't assume that because AE baseplate has changed, the topic Boss 14615 is the same. I don't know who making AE filters now, but based on comments and pics here it's not Purolator 'US'. Could be M&H (or someone else) but can't say that based on the information here.
To topic, like to see pics of the PBL14615 plate in question but it's possible plate has changed. As mentioned earlier, pics would be helpful in providing an accurate answer. That said, a change in baseplate 'alone', wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.
