NOT -- all filter manufactures as far as I know make a filter with the anti-drain back valve for the Vanagon. Then you need to choose the best filter. FILTER ---- like in filter material ----- So then we're left with just the good quality filters as opposed to the crappy FILTERS ! Like in filtering material !!! Get it !! OK, so now were back to Mann, Mahle, Knecht, Hengst and a few other known good brands. The Filtering material is actually irrelevant until it's needed to filter something that's gone wrong then it's too late to get the good one on there !!!! It's sort of like insurance - you pay up front for something that you "might" need to use !

>>>>>>>>OK=2C I did a little more looking=2C which is prompting more questions. I s= ee the anti-drainback flap now on the W719/5=2C after David described its l= ocation a little more for me. But I just looked at an STP and a Fram that I= have=2C and I see rubber under the holes on top as well. I thought that th= e idea behind using a Mann or Mahle instead of a department store filter wa= s that the cheap ones didn't have the anti-drainback valve. But isn't that = what I'm seeing on the STP and the Fram?<<<<<<<<
