<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I gather that the GFE 166 has been superseded by the GFE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>
