Happy New Year !
The oil filter heads / housings of 3.8 and 4.2 engines are slight different.
Some claim they are interchangeable, others say you can't do so. I can not find the final answer and I don't want to gamble.... I am sure someone knows the answer......

I am looking for a 3.8 oil filter head or complete filter, in order to keep the 4.2 engine complete or eventual 4.2 if they are interchangeable.

Thanks for your help !

I have a 3.8 filter head spare if you want. PM me if interested.

I am looking for £150 for it

Hi Barrie,

for whatever reason the PM remains in my Outbox, I don't know how to send it.....

thank you for your reply, that is interesting.
Is it the "bare" housing, housing with relieve valve etc. or is it a complete filter ?
Just checked the possibilities to ship to the Netherlands, if send via Royal Mail as a gift (ofcourse I pay upfront) I don't have to pay import duties, VAT etc.
Costs for shipment according Royal Mail is GBP6,85 (assuming weigth < 2kgs.)

Let me know how to proceed,
Thanks
