Good deal on a great oil filter

I just bought 4 Bosch 72158 Premium Oil Filters off of Amazon. The 4 filters come to $30 but Bosch is running a $2 rebate on each filter (max of 4 per household) which means I got the 4 filters for $22 or $5.50 each. These filters are basically oversized Purolator PureOne filters that should fit the SVX. The PureOne filters filter 99.9% of 20um particle and about 98% of 10um particles. For filtration, these might be the best filters we can buy. For flow rate, the K&N and Purolator standard filters are still a little better but, if we are already moving to a 60% larger filter, flow rate shouldn't be an issue.
