baldwin 7449 cut open

[SilverC6]

Hastings filters are often available at local auto parts stores.

Same well made filter.

Yeah but they don't have that fly paint job like baldwin lol

 

[Tony10s]

^^^ Yeah, that paint job on the Baldwin filter is eye-catching isn't it

F150 5.0 don't look pretty under the hood so the baldwin is the first thing everyone sees good convo starter for sure

What kind of numbers?

Well I started a thread on this earlier lol but I was wondering how it stacks up against other filters and what a good oci would be with this filter

This is the latest baldwin was using 5w20 rp api oil all winter 5500 miles had a small bit of waves but nothing crazy

This is the exact filter for my Explorer. I have used Motorcraft and Mobil1 filters but in the end, those are manufactured under a foreign parent company. Even Purolator is foreign owned. Not only are the Baldwins/Hastings made in the USA, all the money is staying in the USA as well. I am going to start using these in my next OCI.

I can't find these things online with shipping less than $7.00. I guess I'll call my local grainger but online they want $10.33. Not cool!
