Was running some errands and stopped at an auto parts place I dont usually stop at, they sell Federated filters (rebadged Hastings/Baldwin) I need to change the oil on my Ranger and my buddy was with me so he picked up some filters for his 5.3 Vortec. Great price $2.16 each. While the filters for my 3.0 Ranger are clearly Baldwin made, his are chinese made. PG2222F, filter is heavy and seems well built, center tube with holes not louvers. On the filter itself it says Made in China by a TS16949 and ISO9001 certified company, on the bottom it says leak tested. Should he steer clear of these or run them with confidence? Didnt realize they were Chinese made until after we got in the truck.
