V6 oil filter

Post by chrisash86 »

Does the v6 use the same oil filter as the standard cavs?

I'm reasonably sure that most (petrol-engined) oil filters are compatible across the range from 1.2 up to the big-block stuff. There are a tiny few exceptions. I vaguely recall that the more recent lumps are OK for a certain batch of engine numbers but not for others.

Bear in mind also that 'standard cavs' do come in V6... :)
