Hello again and this filter was off of a 2013 Nissan Sentra with federated conventional 5w30 oil. Put some Quaker State Conventional 5w30 and a FRAM Extra Guard in and on.
Federated #PG4612F, 6,000 miles CUT OPEN

I assume that's a Hastings?
Thanks!
Thanks!
The current Federated Auto Parts filters are not made by Clarcor/Hastings. They are made in China and are Premium Guard filters made for Federated (PG4612F, the "F" stands for Federated). They used to be made by Hastings.
The Hastings filter for my Elantra is LF565, and the corresponding Federated filter that used to be made by Hastings was LF565F. Now it's PG something.

Tony10s: thanks for that info
Looks solid. Question, do you notice any difference in performance between 5w30 & 0w20 oil in the Sentra? I have a 15 myself and I've been using 0w20 so far, but am curious how much, if any, 5w30 would affect performance and fuel economy.
Media looks better than the last Federated/Hastings I cut open, media on that one was pretty flimsy.
Mcgophers: my friend always used 5w30 in his Nissan's. He said he didn't notice any difference in the car. I didn't ask him bout fuel economy
Thanks for the C&P. I put a Hastings-made Federated on my Q50, so it's nice to see how well these hold up after ~5k miles.
You're welcome Sir1900
Yeah, we are using Parts Plus which seem bout same as this at work now without issue
Yep
Very common made in China filter. Just like a Pronto.
Stout media.... Round holes in the center tube....
No tears.....
What's not to like?

Since 'specifically' asked, 'some' might not like the unknown efficiency of these filters. And 'some' may not like or prefer the coo of these filters.
Those caveats noted, as with many filters of this tier and coo, it does 'appear' to be well made.
Thanks for c&p.
