Our local auto parts store use to carry Hastings. I used them in mhy old Nissan. Very well built from what I can tell.

Baldwin and Hastings are one and the same company now. Baldwin makes heavy duty filters primarily, and I would say they are every bit the equal of a Purolator in most applications.

Baldwin filters are excellent, I use them on my race car and daily driver. Very sturdy case and I have no problems with startup timing chain noise on the modular ford engines.

I use Baldwin because 1) they are good quality filters (IMO as good as Wix) and 2) I like the racy red color. Another good filter is Fleetguard. Can get at truck supply shops and tractor stores. They make em to fit cars and light trucks too.

I remember my Dad always using Hastings canister filters way back when, '51 Ford, I think. There may still be some lying around the basement. Maybe they're collectors items by now....

They ARE pretty snazzy, eh?

How many miles are these filters good for? I'm looking for a filter that I can change every other oil change.

I ran a very small Baldwin for 12k miles and it showed no signs of failure when I inspected it.

Yes! And different enough to NOT be mistaken for a Fram! Someone suggested the Baldwins when I put up a thread stating that I was planning to paint my Wix filters bright orange for that racy look.

Thank You for the comments on our filters, and yes I enjoy running them because they are red too.

Dang! now I want a Baldwin on My truck. I don't think anyone carries them in this town, though. Oh, and why would You leave a filter on for two oil changes??? Is the $5 You save really worth it??

Hastings are very good filters, a little while back I purchased a few, Part No LF107 & LF134, took them apart, great construction.

I've read good things--love to try them, but I've never actually seen one for sale.

Go to the Baldwin website and there is a dealer lookup page. There is only one place on my side of Detroit that has them and I drive about 9 miles one way to get them. Consequently I stock up.

Nice to have you aboard. I also like the threaded end bypass valve on the B2 for my Fords.

I did that and found some not far. I'm running a racy red B243 now. Seems like a very nicely made filter.

I run them. I cut a new one open. Go do drillspot.com and you can order the baldwin of the hastings for less. http://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubbthre...rue#Post1359147

I can get the Baldwin (B43-S) for my car locally for $4.19 ea. Is that a good price?

My dad used them many years ago, they were very good filters then. A local auto parts store sold them, they went out of business a long time ago, and I haven't seen them since. AD

In my neck of the woods, that's a good price.

Its a shame. The marketing guys have pushed a handful of brands...often good ones--don't get me wrong...into every parts store. I want more choices.
