Only filters with an "S" suffix have a silicone ADBV. They've also recently added the FL500S...and yes, I think those three filters cover a majority of Ford's current and recent past engines, at least those that don't use a cartridge filter.
I've had more soft Silicone ADBV's FAIL... invert, get crooked..... whatever. Black rubber hastings gaskets have been fine. Hastings/Baldwin is like Rick Astley... Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down.....

Well, just look at Ricky's short lived career ... just like a nitrile ADBV in cold weather.
