From the above referrenced oil filter study: Excellent flow "The Hastings, Donaldson, and Fleetgard all have excellent flow. Not surprisingly, they are also have larger pore sized media"

I had a fairly long talk with one of their marketing guys. There are some filters that are shared by Hastings and Baldwin. But only low production items. On the more popular types Hastings is the reatil "built to a price" while the Baldwin is built to an industrial spec at a higher price point...

I just buy them 6 at a time from here: http://www.adiesel.com/

Any suggestions on what to do with the filters with short tubes? Does it cause a performance problem?

After reading the filter study I thought it was the best filter for both price and availability. Very well built and an obvious industrial design not built to a retail price point.

I have used a couple of them and have had no problems. I decided to use them after the oil filter study.

I have some B31s I bought last winter that are identical. It must be the design.

I think the baldwin filter has a typo for "10psi for 2 min" colum shouldn't it be 47 or 57?

I can't find the text now but I seem to recall an Amsoil engineer stating that mixing oil of different viscosities will not give you a viscosity between the 2 viscosities being mixed. He said something like these are unique long chain molecules and mixing basketballs and golf balls will not give...

After a fair amount of looking around I chose the Baldwin B31. I think it is a good compromise between flow and filtering. A very high quality filter. http://www.adiesel.com/

Sounds very reasonable to me. That is well within what GM sets for the LS1. And I can't imagine Toyota would be any more demanding. 2 disclaimers: Very dusty climates or oprations that keeps the oil above or below the design ideal of aprox. 100 deg C for most of the running time.

Me too. I like the quality of the construction and think they are a good compromise between flow and filtration. A real quality product.

Glad you finally got them. They sure look like they are built for the industrial market don't they? I use th B31 for my LS1.

Hastings are "retail" filter made at the same plant Baldwin filters are made. In most cases they are a lower quality filter designed for the retail trade. The Baldwin filters are an industrial/fleet filter of higher quality. Both companies are owned by Clarcor: http://www.clarcor.com/

I buy Baldwin filters here: http://www.adiesel.com/automotive.php Thye are made in a Nebraska and are a very high quality filter. I buy them 6 at a time to get the discount. I figure it saves me money as opposed to running to the store every time. I think you would be very impressed with the...

David, What type of air filter are you running?

Not sure if this is correct but it is my understanding that Delphi makes the filters for factory production (first filter on the car) and Champion? makes all aftermarket product.
