We dont need an education either,we know that it is a power steering pump.
We just dont understand why you are so determined to get a filter without the ADBV when it is of no real concern when it comes to causing restriction.
The ADBV doesnt operate based on a set pressure to open,it isnt even a somewhat tight seal unless there is oil in the filter to push it back up against the base plate and it may not seal then.
There is no reason to worry about the ADBV.
