Best Bosch Oil Filter, DistancePlus(D3300) or Premium(3300)?

What's the best Bosch Oil Filter, DistancePlus(D3300) or Premium(3300)? Why?

I reviewed the Bosch site. The info for one filter says it's a great filter and holds more dirt. The other says it's a great filter. The "Premium" filter is cheaper. Does that mean it's not as good or just not popular?

Thanks for your help !

I used the Bosch 3300 on my Nomad for many oil changes.

I don't think it really matters in the long run. More importantly is that the oil and filter get changed regularly. That way your not running with a filter that is full of dirt particles.
Also check the screen in the side drain plug, it will show you if there is any bits of crud in the motor.

Either one I have used both.

Thanks !

It's always best to ask. I love the Nad. Hopefully, with Amsoil and a really good filter, the Nad will last me a very long time......or at least 10 yrs. and counting like my Vol.

I use the Bosch 3300, but I agree with ring that it's more critical to change at regular intevals.

Never understood the maintenance schedule where it shows doing oil only changes (no filter) for every other change. Don't get why anybody wouldn't spend the extra $3 for a filter when the oil change comes due.
