Hi,<br>
I=E2=80=99ve recently fitted a spin-on kit onto my 3000, the one that goes =
straight onto the block.<br>
Which filters do you guys use? My kit came with a Unipart GFE 166 (CB6). I =
don=E2=80=99t know what the CB6 means.<br>
I gather that the GFE 166 has been superseded by the GFE 443.<br>
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.<br>
Ideally I=E2=80=99d like a longer filter with a valve and hopefully a hex o=
n the end for easier removal. Can=E2=80=99t go wider or it will be into the=
 starter motor.<br>
Any ideas???<br>
Thanks,<br>
Simon<br>
