Truly the Motorcraft oil filter is fine. But you can get FORDS HIGH PERFORMANCE / Racing filters that have Silcone ADBV.. look at pics and read
You can see in picture below has a blue gasket probably PTFE simular to Pureone or Boesh D+
Here you can see the Silicone ADBV
Ford Racing FL1A Oil Filter for Mustangs.
This high performance oil filter from Ford Racing features a heavy gauge base and canister for higher burst strength and impulse fatigue resistance.
A synthetic-polymer/cellulose-fiber blend filter media offers up to 50% more filtering capacity then standard filters. The benefit to you is improved filtering efficiency and longer oil filter life when using either standard or synthetic motor oils.
A high quality silicone anti-drain back valve prevents oil from escaping the filter when the engine is off. A non-stick sealing gasket makes for easier installation and removal.
There are videos about the Race FORD FILTERS THAT ARE OEM
