        Is this "anti-drain back" feature unique to the Wix/NAPA filter
or do others (Fram, Purolater, etc...)
have this feature also. I am presently running a Purolater filter on my
son's 74B (18V engine; inverted filter). It replaced the Auto Zone house
brand filter installed by the DPO. Do I need to get rid of the Purolater
and get one of the Wix/NAPA filters? I doubt that the parts catalogs in
the stores consider the fact of how the filter is mounted - only that
the depth, diameter, and threads match.
