>A check valve is like a PCV valve, usually has a ball of some sort and
allows air, gas, or liquid to pass only ONE way. Toyota has to have instant
oil pressure or the lifters will rattle like crazy. Aftermarket oil filters
are not recommended for Toyota. Without the check valve, the oil filter
will drain back into the crankcase and when started again, have to fill up
again with oil and possibly could damage the bearing surfaces. Ask any
Toyota dealer! The 151 does not need this feature and MAY hinder it. The
151 filter is a very common Ford type filter that Ford called "F1" for many
years and still does. Julian Burke
