Yes it will work on a 2.6/3.2.
But why, the cartridge works perfectly well.

i don't like the cartridge and i was hoping that it wil fit on my 2003 omega.
and it is leaking.

Where is it leaking from did you use a genuine filter? I did mine and have had no problems at all

If fitted correctly,and torque'd correctly, pattern or genuine, wouldn't make a difference.

I have had some patent ones leak because the rubber seal was not brilliant  and I couldn't get it any tighter

.  Than 25nm or is it 15nm. Never had one leak yet.

That screw insert aint cheap either now , think i paid about £12 for mr stealer 

Best mod ive done so far , no more stuck on caps and the spin on is cheaper

Spin on to touch then tighten 3/4 is correct but it dripped and I tightened them over full turn so changed for another patent one and okay on both times.

Think your confusing a spin on canister with the cartridge insert.
Spin is 3/4 hand tight, cartridge is inside alloy housing then torqued up.

Nope its you as op wants the spin on filter

[Andy B]

Over tightening the ally cap won't make it seal any better than to the correct torque will because it seals on the O ring.

[kevinp58]

Okay I am not suggesting over tightening the Ali type at all as that is what destroys them mainly  It seems that people have got he wrong end of the stick the OP was talking about changing the ali type to the older canister type and I asked where the leak was from after he had changed to the earlier type and said that I have had them leak before because of a faulty rubber ring and said even over tightening it didn't stop it I had to change the filter before it stopped leaking and it was on both times patent filters. Hope that clears things up.

i had one leak after fitting by a professional garage (ok it was national tyres).  a half moron can mess up a cartridge but even a total moron can't mess up a spin on. 

[R en R Cartechnics]

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..
