Anybody have a bad experience with them? Good experience with them? My sources at Baldwin tell me that they are made by Baldwin. I use all Baldwin filters and think they are the best(If I can't find a Baldwin I use AC). However, Baldwin filters aren't available in most places. If the AMSOIL is just as good or the same, I might switch.
Some info I found... http://www.amsoil.com/products/sdf.html

Another source that thinks AMSOIL filters are Baldwin...

Yes, they really are that good. I've been using them since 1983 without a problem with several different personal vehicles and other people's vehicles (dad, brothers, coworkers, friends, etc.). Their prices are becoming more competitive as others have raised their prices recently. But, they have always been worth what they cost. They used to be made by Hastings to AMSOIL specs - doesn't mean the Hastings were as good, and if Baldwin is truely making them for AMSOIL now, doesn't mean Baldwins are as good.

Notice the referenced URL hasn't posted the AMSOIL results yet. One thing they should have done was purchase two of each type/brand filter - one to disassemble, the other to do a burst test. That would have made the differences even more obvious. Also, there is no mention of the body-to-base crimp type in their teardown - a big factor in filter reliability.
