RE: Ticking sound from engine??

I find this very interesting, the commet about making sure you get the oil
filter with the pressure valve.

Does anyone have a list of filters that do have it? How can you tell if it has
the pressure valve?

I normally use NAPA, but I have two Puralators on the shelf. What's with these?

TIA
