If we could get a clear view of the base plate we could ptobably figure it out by the holes.
Silicone ADBV, looks like a spiral interior on the center tube (if the drawing is accurate).
My guess would be Wix or Purolator.
A shot of the base would definatly help though.
Kind of cheesy web site, no real information there.

" Thank you for your interest in Motor Trend's new line of High Performance Oil Filters. This product is currently available in the Austin, Boston, St. Louis, and Kansas City markets. We will keep your email address on file and notify you as soon as this exciting new product is available in an Oil Change Service Center near you.
Please note that your information will remain confidential as it is intended for the use of the Motor Trend Filter Team to update you with this product only.
This filter is perfect for standard, semi-synthetic, and full synthetic oil changes. For your convenience, here are some important features to focus on:
What is the difference between Conventional Filters & High Performance?
The Motor Trend High Performance Filter uses only the finest materials available in it's construction to maximize the Filtration Process and Protection of your engine. Safeguard your vehicle against harsh driving conditions, stop-and-go driving, heavy traffic and extreme climatic changes with a Motor Trend oil filter. Research has shown that, just like conventional motor oil, conventional oil filters break down. Use Motor Trend High Performance filters-your best choice for extra engine protection.
High Performance Oil Filters Provide you the following Benefits:
* Superior Protection compared to Conventional Oil Filters
* Improved High and Low Temp Performance
* Improved Engine Protection against Sludge & Harmful Dirt Deposits
* Best Filter Choice in Severe Driving Conditions
STEEL CENTER TUBE & END CAPS
Spiral steel center tube with perforations allow for maximum oil flow through. Steel end caps give filter element extra support during pressure surges.
SUPERIOR FILTRATION MEDIA
Special high-performance filtration media provides the best particle retention, efficiency and lifetime to maximize the filtration process in today’s driving conditions.
SILICON ANTI-DRAIN BACK VALVE
Silicon holds its shape for better engine oil retention. This feature prevents “dry-starts” and premature engine wear. Conventional rubber can deteriorate under varying temperatures while silicon maintains it’s integrity for a leak-free seal.
SPECIAL SEALING GASKET
Tolerant material that conforms better to metal surfaces in all conditions to maintain superior sealing capability. Will not swell in high operating temperatures, or retract in lower. Improved durability & torque retention gives you the best seal.
Sincerely,
The Motor Trend Filter Team "

Have you never seen a Frantz filter? Filtration media is a role of toilet paper. They cliam (or claimed, I havn't seen one for a while) that it was superior filtration media.
