i want de spin on. and forget the cardridge.
some people say that the mod.. only is for de older engines like the 3.0 and 2.5..

No , thats incorrect. . .  2.6  & 3.2 are easily converted , recently done it to my 3.2 MV6    . . much better with a spin on IMO

The filter insert ones are the work of the devil 
Try getting a housing off that's just spinning 

You won't regrets doing the mod to the spin on

I changed cartridge filters in my V6 for 10 + years with no problems at all ....... I don't know what the problem is with them

Seems to be a mass panic about changing these,
I'm with you on this, if they are fitted and torqued correctly, no problems...

correct .... along with the ability to undo it in the first place

This is where the problem lies as many have been done up by a gorilla so they won't come undone and when they do they break the casting in some way, as in the case with mine it was cheaper to change it than to replace it with one from a stealer.

Have to agree i've never had any issues with the cartridge filters either and i've owned V6 omegas since 2004.

have you ever had the joy of a spin on though

[biggriffin]

have you ever had the joy of a spin on though

Yes I have, my 3.2 is fitted with the cartridge, works fine why bother to change it to a spin on

[TheBoy]

To the OP - yes, you can do it no problem on 2.6/3.2

To the spin-on lovers, I have one car (3.0) with spin-on and one car (3.2) with cartridge/element type.


Without doubt, the later cartridge type is my preference, so much easier and cleaner to change, and saves dunking the crank sensor in oil as well.

If I was going to mod one, it would be the 3.0 to the cartridge type.

Fandanglecartridged  Old school spin on what you need 

[VXL V6]

Cartridge on the V6 without doubt.
