I'm using the Mann 719/5 filter on my I4 RV engine mounted at 50�.  This filter does
not have the anti-drainback flap, so 35%, or so, of the oil in the filter drains out
after I turn of the ignition.  It takes a couple of seconds for the pressure gauge
to spring to life and the oil light to go off.  Once I use my supply of 719/5s I'll
get a Mann filter with the anti-drainback flap.
