I would stay away from Bosch if possible. They are now made in Mexico and the construction is nowhere near what it was in the past when they came direct out of Germany.
Go with OEM or Mobil 1.

Bosch is probably the same as Fram. GARBAGE!
I got lucky, I got 4 of them cheap on ebay probably your best bet!

And see my next post for a closer look at the insides of the two filters at issue here.
Bosch is a perfectly acceptable alternative to M1, especially if cost is an issue, or if you're not pushing to long oil change intervals (when the rubber ADBV might fatigue and become an issue).

If you compare the connecting surface, you will see they are the exact same size. Just the casing is bigger.
I understand that the connecting end is the same but is letting less oil into the filter any more efficient then using a bigger one? I guess I don't understand why you would use a bigger filter if the manufacturer is calling for a smaller one? Am I missing something?

bit off topic but anyone know if the nissan OEM oil filter is supposed to have a loose gasket? I opened a new oem filter and you can spin the gasket around freely. I've never seen any other filter do this.
