If this is true, does anyone know of an oil filter _with_ the anti-drain back
baffle? I vaguely remember a discussion from somewhere on this subject and
the consensus was that a Wix brand filter had the best anti-drain back
baffle. Anyway, I currently have a Wix filter installed on the car.
Even if the baffle was there and it stopped the oil from draining back
through the oil pump, what stops the oil from draining out of the filter into
the main oil gallery?

I've heard of these, sounds like _all_ engines should have one. The idea has
possibilities but I'm not ready to go that route yet.
