I really like the fact under $8! http://www.********.com/dbphp/x,catalog,257,partnum,LF380,d,HASTINGS_FILTERS_LF380.html

I know the rocking auto isn't always the greatest, but for that price, think worth the risk?

When I emailed Hastings about the Mircon level of filteration at the bottom it had Baldwin Hastings on their Email
The pic of the Baldwin is from another Forum Member the Hastings pic is of one of mine.

I asked Hastings the Micron rating:

LF380 - By-Pass has a 15 absolute micron rating
The Full-Flow is 18 nominal with a 40 absolute micron rating. Thank you, Sandy -----"

And, the above micron ratings are the same as the Baldwin P102
Several years ago when I ask Balswin a Question the Email has Baldwin Hastings on it.

Also thanks Adriel for pointing out that the Rock sells Baldwin filters. I never think to search by part number (does not show up if you search by car).
