The Bosch Distance Plus Mobil M-103 equivalent is D3500.

Its a very good filter....I think it does better than the Mobil.

I bought the wix 51182, larger capacity and 24 psi bypass instead of the 8-11, should work great! Was $8 at o'reilys

All it should do is filter more of the oil instead of letting it bypass, and its a higher capacity to help with the less bypass, I dont see whats wrong with that . . .
