Fram Force C&P

No clue where this came from, it was left at my shop door with waste oil. Looks barely used. I thought these were tough guard filters with a different paint job but the media looks lower quality than the TG filters I have run on my cars.

Add a couple more because I’m cleaning up around here.

Nice pictures-thanks.

This is the worst Baldwin I have seen. Not horrible but definitely lower quality than usual. Off center seem, overly glued end cap. Not your typical Baldwin.

I no longer use Baldwin for anything.
Look inside and most don't have the media sealed off on the end cap.
Hastings is worse. Not impressed. Many thanks!

Your welcome. I was told by the rep that Hastings/Baldwin are the same filter with different color paint. But, I like you, have seen a difference in Hastings and Baldwin. I have always had great luck with Baldwins. I guess everything goes down hill eventually.

With Baldwin the high price still remains. That's why I'm no longer a fan.
The quality went down and the price stayed high.

Curious why Fram chose to color this the same as extra guard and drop the efficiency by 1%.

The Fram "Force" and "Titanium" filters are specified by Advance Auto and only sold through them.
