Spin-On Oil Filter Series: Filters & Anti-Drain Valves

The spin on oil filter check valve? The reason the check valve had been incorporated into the oil filter was for the obvious reason, filters that were in the side of the engine would drain the oil back into the block when there was no flow. This could potentially cause a dry start. A more subtle reason, in applications where there was oil cooler above the filter (GM Vortex platform) the check valve helped to keep the cooler full to eliminate the dry start.

So for an oil filter that screws in to the side, would you recommend an oil filter with a anti drain valve??
