Any one ever used...

Baldwin filters......(background info....stupid me, i had a shop do my oil and they replaced my fleetgurad with a FRAM oil filter...wont make that mistake again and i want to replace it NOW.)

So i was looking into different oil/fuel filters out there on the maket...and a trucker friend of mine told me he has made the switch...he has historically ran Fleetguard and has made the swictch to Baldwin filters and says he has seen longer life out of his oil...

just wondering what some of your takes are on these or if anyone has used them.

I have used Baldwins for years. Good prices in my area and they are very good quality. I have run them on my Cummins, when I was out of Fleetguard.
They are an old, quiet, mid western company... but hugh! Been around for 70 yrs servicing heavy diesel equipment!

I use Baldwins BT372-MPG 3 micron fuel fliter on my FASS 150/150.

Wasn't it the Fram oil filters that were disintegrating and causing bearing failures?

I've been running Baldwin for years! I figure with all the OTR trucks that are running them with no issues, they can't be bad!
