Hastings LF380 is the same as the Baldwin Filter an Granger Sells them. Also on internet sources the Hastings LF380 is cheaper. Also Hastings and Baldwin are acutally the same company.

The last STP Filter I saw was made in India and appeard to be the same Oil Filter as the Purolator one that was also made in India that was selling at the same time.
The Central Tube in the top portion of the Filter is not sealed on either end it sits metal to metal.
Both the STP Filter had like a Rubber Stamp mark on the Filter Made in India but in different places on the Filter. Both had the Red Paper with holes on the full flow section of the Filter and both had the same thin wire Handle at the top of the Filter.

Unless of course they have changed suppliers.
