All (or nearly all) modern filters have an antidrain back valve. How well they work is up for debate. The base Fram filter is recognized for usually being the cheapest built of the lot and their drain back valves tend to leak.

To be honest I'm surprised you had this problem with a NAPA filter (I assume it's a rebranded WIX) as they tend to have pretty good quality - but there can be a bad one every once in the while.

As stated most any quality (WIX, Purolator, oil filter will have the antidrain back feature.

For more discussion by some people that seem to know (ore at least pretend to know)
