Some good news. The purolator L20073 is the same size as the L30165 but has a bypass pressure of 12-15psi. The bad news is that there is no high quality equivalent (PureOne, Bosch Premium, M1, K&N, etc.) of this model. But if you want a basic yet good filter with the right BPV, this would work.

Other good news, Royal Purple (10-2808) and Purolator (PSL14459) sell L14459 equivalents with synthetic media. These have great filtering and high capacity for extended oil change intervals. And, of course, the correct BPV pressure. I will probably switch to one of them on the next oil change. The best news is that these can also be used on my Tribeca and the new Acura. One filter for all three cars!!!
The software that I use for work says that the Bosch 72160 is a direct replacement for the purolator L20073. I'm not sure if that's correct or not, but that's what it says.
