Oil drainback tube

ntsqd said

Uh oh, been noticing that the oil pressure is a lot slower coming up than it was before oil & filter replacement. Possible for this tube to have come out stuck in the filter? I was hoping that it wasn't a feature that the dreaded Fram had that the Wix does not.

Anyone got a pic of either or preferably both tubes?

I asked on the slant forum and someone posted this picture and said this.......Long "standpipe" for tall oil filters & short tubes for short filters and no check valve & tube for oil filters with built-in check valve & tubes.


I asked for clarification about the valve deal but havent seen any response. I have the long tube but have no idea where this valve is supposed to be.

I have read at one point that the valve is in the filter now that I think about it, I think I have read only the high quality filters have the valve. Ill keep asking around, surely someone can give more info.
