So the new filter needs to have a check valve? Is it terribly harmful to not have one with a valve?

Only to your garage floor when you do the next oil change.

it'll smoke as the oil burns off. The mahle ones from pelican and other places really aren't that much more than one without a check valve. Maybe a buck or two.

the reason I ask mostly is because I got two identical ones for the car (that fit obviously). One is currently on the car, and I have the other in hand. I took a picture of it and will upload it momentarily
