Hastings Filter Cross Reference: Oil, Air and Fuel Numbers
Hastings filters are discontinued. Parker, which owns the brand, marks every Hastings oil, air and fuel filter in its catalogue obsolete and names a Baldwin replacement on most part pages. Cross a Hastings number to Baldwin, but check the brand first: Fleetguard uses several of the same LF numbers for completely different filters.
Hastings Filters Are Discontinued, and Baldwin Replaces Them
Parker still keeps a page for nearly every Hastings part, and every series carries the same status. The Hastings spin-on lube filter series lists 318 parts, all marked Obsolete, and the lube elements, fuel filters and air filters read the same way.
The answer sits on the individual part page. The Hastings LF655 page says it has been "obsoleted and replaced by Baldwin B7491", and the pages for the LF115, LF113, LF240 and other common numbers carry the same line even where the series table leaves its notes column blank.
| Hastings series on Parker's site | Parts listed | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Spin-on lube filters | 318 | All obsolete |
| Lube oil filter elements | 132 | All obsolete |
| Spin-on fuel filters | 289 | All obsolete, 23 with no replacement |
| Radial seal air filter elements | 209 | All obsolete |
| Air filters with disposable housings | 45 | All obsolete |
Fuel filters are where the swap is not clean. Of the 289 Hastings spin-on fuel filters, 266 name a Baldwin replacement and 23 are listed as "obsolete with no replacement."
Parker publishes no discontinuation date. Owners noticed the brand had gone in a January 2023 thread on Bob Is the Oil Guy, and no official statement has surfaced since.
Where Hastings Filters Came From
The filters began at Hastings Manufacturing of Hastings, Michigan, which sold its filter business to CLARCOR in September 1995 for about $14 million, along with plants in Knoxville, Tennessee and Yankton, South Dakota. CLARCOR, already Baldwin's parent, said it would keep making filters under the Hastings name.
Parker bought CLARCOR in 2017, which is how both brands ended up under one owner, as the Parker filter cross reference sets out. By the end, the Hastings catalogue already carried Baldwin numbers: 69 of the 318 Hastings spin-on lube filters and 89 of the 289 fuel filters have Baldwin part numbers, and on the lube side, where Parker names a replacement for one of these, it is the Baldwin part of the same number.
The Same LF Number Can Be Two Different Filters
Hastings and Fleetguard both use LF for lube filters, and some of the numbers overlap. Baldwin's own cross-reference search returns a different filter for the same string depending on which brand's row you pick.
| Number | Fleetguard part crosses to | Hastings part crosses to |
|---|---|---|
| LF551 | Baldwin B2 | Baldwin B7177 |
| LF655 | Baldwin B143 (Nissan, Toyota) or B243 (Ford) | Baldwin B7491 |
| LF563 | Baldwin PT185, a cartridge | Baldwin BT8409, a spin-on |
| LF678 | Baldwin BT259 | Baldwin BD7317 |
LF551 shows how far apart they can be. The Fleetguard LF551 is a B2, a 137.3 mm can on a 3/4-16 thread and the same filter as the Hastings LF115, while the Hastings LF551 is the Baldwin B7177, a 182.6 mm can on a 1 1/8-16 thread for the Cummins ISB 5.9 and QSB 5.9.
WIX's lookup draws the same line. WIX crosses the Hastings LF551 to its 57182 and the Fleetguard LF551 to its 51515, and on LF655 it crosses the Hastings part to 51348 while marking the Fleetguard part superseded.
Two more brands reuse Hastings-style numbers. Federated's numbers are Hastings numbers with an F on the end, and Baldwin crosses the LF115F, LF113F, LF240F and LF655F to the same parts as the Hastings originals. Carter's GF1, on the other hand, crosses to Baldwin BF840-K1 while the Hastings GF1 crosses to BF833-K2.
Hastings Oil Filter to Baldwin: Common Numbers
These are the Hastings oil filter numbers people search most, with the Baldwin replacement from Parker's own part pages and WIX's answer from WIX's lookup. The FRAM column comes from Baldwin's chart, covered below.
| Hastings | Baldwin replacement | WIX's own lookup | FRAM in Baldwin's chart |
|---|---|---|---|
| LF107 | B34 | 51085 | TG16 |
| LF110 | B329 | 51372 | XG2 |
| LF113 | B1400 | 51365 | PH9715 (see below) |
| LF115 | B2 | 51515 | XG8A |
| LF134 | B243 | 51516 | XG3600 |
| LF157 | BT223 | 51374 (Onan), 51348 (Chrysler) | XG3614 |
| LF240 | B1402 | 51356 | XG7317 |
| LF384 | B159 | 51348 | XG2951 |
| LF410 | B33 | 51394 | TG4967 |
| LF413 | B37 | 57145 | PH4386FP |
| LF483 | B1416 | No result | Not in chart |
| LF563 | BT8409 | 57181 | Not in chart |
| LF636 | B7443 | 57060 | XG10060 |
| LF641 | B7449 | 57502 | PH10575 |
| LF655 | B7491 | 51348 | Not in chart |
| LF678 | BD7317 | 57620XE | Not in chart |
Three Hastings numbers, the LF157, LF384 and LF655, all land on a WIX 51348 for at least one application. That is WIX merging cans of the same size, not three Hastings parts being identical, so the Baldwin replacement is the number to order.
Where Baldwin's Chart and WIX Disagree
Baldwin's Form 649 quick cross reference, revised April 2021, sets Hastings numbers beside Baldwin, Donaldson, Fleetguard, FRAM, Luber-finer and WIX. Its Baldwin column holds up: 22 Hastings part pages on Parker's site name exactly the replacement the chart gives.
The WIX column is weaker. Of 13 lube rows checked against WIX's own lookup, 5 match exactly, 2 give another number from the same WIX group, 1 gives a WIX number now marked superseded (57073, replaced by 57060 on the LF636), and 5 point to a different WIX part.
The LF113 row is the clearest case. The chart's WIX entry, WL7200, is a WIX Europe number that WIX crosses to a 70.6 mm 51358, its FRAM entry PH9715 crosses on WIX to a 57712, and WIX crosses the LF113 itself to a 65.5 mm 51365. Only that last one matches the 66.7 mm Baldwin B1400 the chart puts in the same row.
So use the chart for the Baldwin number, and check any other brand against that brand's own lookup. The LF678 needs the same care from the other side: WIX crosses it to the can it lists for the 6.7 Cummins, while Baldwin's BD7317 page lists Carrier refrigeration units rather than a pickup engine.
Hastings Air, Cabin and Fuel Filter Numbers
Hastings numbers sort cleanly by prefix in Baldwin's chart and Parker's series pages.
| Hastings prefix | Filter type |
|---|---|
| LF | Lube spin-ons and some lube elements |
| P, PT | Lube elements |
| AF | Air filter elements |
| AFC | Cabin air filters |
| GF, FF | Fuel filters |
| TF | Transmission filters |
| HF | Hydraulic filters |
Air and fuel numbers cross the same way as oil. These rows were checked against both Baldwin's search or chart and WIX's lookup, except the cabin filter, which comes from the chart alone.
| Hastings | Baldwin replacement | WIX |
|---|---|---|
| AF2 (air) | PA613 | 42030 |
| AF905 (air) | PA2134 | 46179 |
| AFC1244 (cabin) | PA4196 | 24815 |
| GF1 (fuel) | BF833-K2 | 33031 metal, 33001 plastic |
| FF943 (fuel) | BF1201 | 33976 |
The AF prefix overlaps too. WIX lists AF905 under Hastings, Luber-finer, Champ, Federated and several store brands, all as its 46179, but crosses Fleetguard's AF905 to a 42683. The Baldwin air filter cross reference covers how the Baldwin PA and RS numbers that replace them are laid out.
What Hastings Published About Filtration
Nothing that survives. The Hastings part pages on Parker's site carry no thread size, dimensions or micron rating, only the brand name and the replacement note.
The Baldwin replacement pages carry all of that. The B7177, for example, is rated 12 micron nominal and 30 absolute, but Baldwin names no test standard behind either number, and one brand's nominal or absolute figure does not line up with another's.
What Owners Report About Hastings Filters
Owners who still have Hastings stock treat it as a Baldwin in a different box. A Hastings LF563 cut open in May 2025 after about 3,000 miles on a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport 1.5 EcoBoost showed even pleats, no excess glue at the seam, open louvers and an anti-drainback valve that was still pliable and burned like nitrile rather than silicone.
Replies in that thread called it typical Baldwin construction, and one member noted the Hastings LF655 and Baldwin B7491 cross to the Motorcraft FL-910S. These are single teardowns, not a sample, and none of them reports a failure.
How to Cross Reference a Hastings Filter
- Copy the full number and the brand from the old filter, including any letters on the end, since the same digits can belong to Hastings, Fleetguard or Federated.
- Search the number on Baldwin's cross-reference page and read only the row marked HASTINGS, not Fleetguard, Federated or Carter.
- Or open the Hastings part page on Parker's site, which states the Baldwin replacement in one line.
- If the page says "no replacement," cross by the vehicle's OE part number or by the old filter's thread and dimensions instead.
- For WIX or FRAM, ask that brand's own lookup with the Hastings number rather than trusting the third-party columns in Baldwin's chart.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are Hastings filters still made? No. Parker lists every Hastings lube, fuel and air filter in its catalogue as obsolete, and most part pages name a Baldwin replacement. Parker has published no discontinuation date, but owners noticed the brand had gone by January 2023, so any Hastings box on a shelf now is old stock.
Is a Hastings filter the same as a Baldwin? For replacement purposes, yes. Both are Parker brands handled by the same division in Kearney, Nebraska, and for most Hastings numbers Parker names a specific Baldwin part as the replacement. The late Hastings catalogue even carried Baldwin numbers, such as the B7004 and BT264.
What is the Baldwin equivalent of a Hastings LF115? The Baldwin B2. Parker's LF115 page names the B2 as the replacement, WIX crosses the LF115 to its 51515, and Baldwin's chart lists FRAM's XG8A in the same row. The B2 is a 137.3 mm can on a 3/4-16 thread.
Is a Hastings LF number the same as a Fleetguard LF number? Not necessarily. Both brands use the LF prefix, and some numbers mean different filters: a Fleetguard LF551 is a Baldwin B2, while a Hastings LF551 is a much taller Baldwin B7177 with a different thread for the Cummins ISB 5.9. Always check which brand the old filter is.
What to Do Next
Write down the number on the old filter and the brand printed above it. Put that number into Baldwin's cross-reference search, read the Hastings row, and order the Baldwin part it names, then confirm the thread and height against the old filter before the drain plug comes out.
