Nice!

Plus, Motorcraft filters have anti-drainback valves.

Nearly every oil filter today has an ADBV.

But not all are the same. Motorcraft filters are known to quiet startup knocking/ticking in Ford's modular V8s as well as other engines.

Certainly, because the Motorcraft filters specified for most Ford engines have silicone anti-drainback valves which are better than their nitrile counterparts found in cheaper filters such as Fram ExtraGuard, Purolator Classic, NAPA Silver, etc...

The MC FL822 has a nitrile anti-drainback valve. Nitrile can become brittle and hard with extended exposure to heat and thus may not seal as well as silicone, which remains pliable throughout the filter's lifetime.
