Can we get a list of all oil filters with silicone ADBVs?

[Patman]

I'm curious as to all the oil filters out there which are made with a silicone antidrainback valve.

The only common ones I can think of are the Wix, Carquest Premium and NAPA Golds.

I know there must be a lot more though.

You asked for it!

The basic problem is that not all models within a brand have the silicon valve.

For example:
The Motorcraft 820 does.
The Motorcraft FL-1A does not.
The Wix 51515 does.
The Wix 51372 does not.

The Nissan E9000 does. Don't know about any other Nissan filters.

Pretty sure all Amsoil, PureOne and Mobil 1 do.

Pretty sure all STP, Fram, K&N, Bosch, and AC Delco do not.

I bought an amsoil filter 2 months ago, and it had a nitrile ADBV. The supertech 8314 has a silicone ADBV.

Fram 6811 (Honda) has the silicone adbv, and a nice hole distribution on the center tube, and..

Oh crap, I was just a Walmart and I think the wall of orange death almost got me...! Sorry...

It was rumored that the newer Amsoil filters will have silicone ADBV's, but that remains to be seen.

Harley Davidson SuperPremium filters have silicone ADBV's - not sure about the regular filters.

Are you sure they do? Up here we have the Canadian Tire brand Formula 1 oil filter, which is a rebadged Fram toughguard and it uses nitrile.

What does the Fram X2 use?

 

[ZiTS]

FRAM X2 has a silicone ADBV.

Also, Baldwin B1416 has a silicone ADBV, while the Baldwin B43-S uses nitrile. This further supports the theory that not even filters from the same manufacturer are built the same.

Add Purolator PureOnes to the list. Perhaps silicone will increase in significance as oil drain intervals increase (per manufacturers' service schedules), since silicone holds up better than nitrile rubber over time...?

Here is the US, the fram TG does use a silcone ADBV. But it still has the cardboard endcaps.

Amsoil changed to a more durable elastomer for their ADBV about two years ago, or more accurately Baldwin did. I'm not sure it's simply garden variety nitrile, in fact it's proprietary to Baldwin/Hastings.

Silicon ABDV's are all an orange or off-white color, so they are pretty easy to spot ...There is generally no carbon black used as a filler in silicon, hence the color.

what about OE Nissan filters?

 

[oilcanboyd]

oem honda has a silicon ADBV.

 

[oilboy123]

I sent an e-mail to Amsoil tech, they say the ADBV is made of High Nitrile with Buna-N qualities.
So I'm guessing this is supposed to be an upgrade from silicone?
