I'm using the Mann 719/5 filter on my I4 RV engine mounted at 50°. This filter does not have the anti-drainback flap, so 35%, or so, of the oil in the filter drains out after I turn of the ignition. It takes a couple of seconds for the pressure gauge to spring to life and the oil light to go off. Once I use my supply of 719/5s I'll get a Mann filter with the anti-drainback flap.
