but does it have an anti-drain back valve? This is a perfect oversized filter for ford 4.6L and 5.4L engines. But does it have the **** adbv? Anybody know?

PS
16 nominal is awesome compared to the 19 that the standard Ford 4.6,5.4 filter is. The other oversized filter, 51087, has a rating of 24! kinda defeats the purpose of an oversized filter.

It's the beta ratio thats important from what I understand...not the nominal rating.The Wix website has the beta ratings for each filter.On their general information page they claim that ALL their oil filters catch "almost all" 25 micron and smaller particles.I just would like to know the difference between ,lets say the Pro-Select and the Gold line of filters...what am I paying more money for ?
