Now I'm no oil filter expert but, so I've been told, some department
store filters don't have the anti-drainback valves and others, such as
Fram, have them but they don't work as well.


Years ago I used Fram filters and found that, for me anyway, I had a
much more frequent problem with lifters bleeding down than I've had with
Mann or Mahle filters.
