Leyland Car Owners - Six stuff #1

Another interesting point re oil filter for the six...
: I remember in a club yearbook a few years ago there was a conversion to enable you to use to use
: z9 filters on the six, by purchasing a ford part, quite cheap.
: Very attractive as you can buy a siz pack of z9's for the price of a six filter.

: As I am now a six owner and doing my first oil change, I rang up the ryco tech line to ask the difference between the ford z9 and the leyland six filter the z23, they confirm there is a tube in the z23 enable the filter to retain oil in it when the engine is off, this ensures you have a full filter on engine start up, a desireable situation Id say leading to adequate oil pressure on start up and engine protection.

: The z9 doesnt need this tube as it is mounted verticaly in the ford, while the z23 is mounted horizontaly in the P.
