--></style><div class="WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">Hi,</p><p class="MsoNormal">I’ve recently fitted a spin-on kit onto my 3000, the one that goes straight onto the block.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Which filters do you guys use? My kit came with a Unipart GFE 166 (CB6). I don’t know what the CB6 means. </p><p class="MsoNormal">I gather that the GFE 166 has been superseded by the GFE 443.</p><p class="MsoNormal">So far as I can see it does not have an anti-drain back valve and it seems rather small for a 3 litre engine.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Ideally I’d like a longer filter with a valve and hopefully a hex on the end for easier removal. Can’t go wider or it will be into the starter motor.</p><p class="MsoNormal">Any ideas???</p><p class="MsoNormal">Thanks,</p><p class="MsoNormal">Simon</p></div><br><div><br></div></div><div><br></div></div></body></html>
