OK, I did a little more looking, which is prompting more questions. I see the anti-drainback flap now on the W719/5, after David described its location a little more for me. But I just looked at an STP and a Fram that I have, and I see rubber under the holes on top as well. I thought that the idea behind using a Mann or Mahle instead of a department store filter was 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?

Thanks,
Ed
