Getting ready to do my last change on my f150 before winter. I have two filters left in my stash, 1-carquest 85372 champion blue (date 2015)and 2- hastings lf110 (date 2013).pick my next filter! And is the hastings filter from 2013 still good to use without issue?
carquest 85372 vs hastings lf110

I would go ahead and use the older one and save the newer one for next time. It should be good as long as there isn't any rust in it and the gasket isn't broke/damaged/dried out for some reason. Go by what you trust and can see.

Hastings = Baldwin. Great filters, equivalent to Wix except for non-silicone valve on Baldwin/Hastings. Older filter no problem if no rust, etc. present. Also Baldwin is very popular, heavy-duty truck filter. Nothing wrong with Champion either...another well known, old-line major filter company.
I'd use the older Baldwin. The new CARQUEST champion made blue filters are excellent, did you see the video and discussion?

Thanks you guys for the fast replies. ..i was leaning towards the hastings on the beginning. And 901memphis....i saw that video and i have the current version not the future version shown in that specific video. Im sure its still a solid filter though dont you think?
Yes they are good either way
Hastings +100
Pretty sure that it's been confirmed that Champ is not making the blue filters like the video said. Some have confirmed the blue filters are being made by Baldwin, and the red filters are being made by Fram/Champ in Ohio. Check Drew99GT first post. Link in there was a blue made by Baldwin.

Champ is supplying the Carquest red and light duty blue filters. Baldwin is supplying the off-road/HD blue filters.
