I bought a Fram TG4386 for my Corolla at Walmart, and upon inspecting it, I have a concern that is probably irrelevant, but it got my mind thinking anyways: the silicon ADBV sticks down into the center tube pretty far. Is there any possibility that oil flowing out of the filter through the center tube could collapse the part of the ADBV that sticks down into the center tube, fold it over into the outlet hole on the engine, and block off oil flow???
I've never seen an oil filter where the ADBV sticks down so far.
