Mann compared to Hastings?

[irollturbo]

I have one of those Volvo's with the annoying cartridge style filters. There are not many choices in terms of filters. For example Amsoil and Mobil 1 do not make a filter for this particular application.

I have been using the Mann filter. I know Mann is a good filter, especially for the price. But, there seems to be very little comparative data available.

Does anyone know how the Mann would compare to a Hastings filter for example?

Thanks,
Ted

Hastings filters are equal to Baldwin, both made by Clarcor, which also makes Amsoil oil filters.

I like Baldwin/Hastings filters. I'd prefer Mann for the Volvo, but would use the Hastings if that was all that was available. Try an on-line source for the Mann filters...the price is likely much better than the dealership. Sorry, I don't have any details.
