Hello gang. This is a Hastings filter from a 2013 EDGE with 7,500k on it. Oil used was MC 5w30. Vehicle has 18k on it also. Enjoy the pics

kinda like a napa silver?
Thanks! Once again, your efforts are greatly appreciated. That looks to be a solid filter.
Bryobob: I have never used a SILVER or paid attention so I won't comment.
Garak: thank you good sir
Garak: thank you good sir
Filter looks good. Was wondering if you can show another pic. I picked up a bunch of Hastings filters, and I have noticed that just inside the big hole, there's what looks like a plastic collar or valve or something.. Does this have one of those, and if so, what does it look like from the inside?
SirTanon: I have a pic looking down the center tube before I cut it open. Yes, the ADBV is "skinny" I'll say
Also SirTanon; you can't really see the skinny ADBV by looking down the center tube. Hope this helped you sir

I'd call it a step up from Napa Silver. The only thing "inferior" about the Hastings is the nitrile ADBV, which really doesn't bother me, and which also exists in some Wix and Napa Gold filters (i.e. the one for my G37 comes to mind). One also might call the Hastings media "inferior" to that in the Napa Gold and Wix, but to me, that's splitting hairs. I'd use (and have used) either the Wix or Hastings pretty much interchangeably.

This filter has a rating of 89.4% @12 micron just fyi
Robo: thanks for the info.
I use the baldwin version but have the hastings and federated version on the shelf as well always work flawlessly and have the same specs

You're mis-reading the beta numbers from the chart.
BX=2 is 50%, and that's at 12 microns.
BX=75 is 98.7%, and that's at 25 microns.
The 89.4% is the average efficiency - whatever that actually means.

Thanks ^
I'd rather have decent efficiencies than a failed filter I have used Clarcor on all of my equipment and now this new truck and they all look good when dissected
Thanks again for the C&P. I've never used a Hastings but would certainly consider it given the high build quality and decent beta ratios. If these had silicone ADBVs it would be almost ideal.
You're very welcome sir
Great looking filter. If I could not buy a Wix so easily, then either the Hastings or the Baldwin equivalent would be a suitable replacement. Trouble is no local auto parts stock them, or even list them to order.
Edit: Can get the Baldwin at my local Grainger for $6.31 each. About the same price as a Wix.

Same here ... although Hastings are much more difficult to find around here. Nice pics.

Here, too. A quick lube used to use them, but then switched. A local place called Peavey Mart sells them at a good price. Ackland-Grainger sells Baldwin at a not-so-good price. I'm not sure where else they're available here. The availability of Wix isn't too bad.
