Your filter should be the D3311 for the distance plus, But you could use the D3325 as well they are about the same. The Distant Plus out does the Baldwin BT223 by about 2 microns across the board. Baldwin * 20 microns is 98.67 while the distant plus is 99.9 and at 12 microns the BT223 is 50% efficient double pass and the distant plus is 50 % at 10 microns.
So as far as effectiveness goes they are a pretty much a tie. Distant plus is going to cost you more. They normally will not go for under 10USD.
You can get BT223 here for half that. Baldwin Filter BT223 Filter
So price wise I would go Baldwin/ Both of these will do 12500 to 16000 km oil change intervals with ease.
You can also go with the Pureone PL14476 you can't run it as long but it filters even better. But if your just wanting to run 10000 km between oil changes this would work well for you. They run 5usd and under depending if they are on sale.
All these filters are mixed media Baldwin and Bosch are cellulose and microglass (thats why they hold more dirt) and Pureone is some sort of synthetic fiber mixed with microglass. They don't hold as much dirt before getting clogged but filter a bit better.
