Until the last oil change on my 3.0 litre Diesel i'd been using Wix filters.
Cold starts it always took a second or so for the oil pressure light to go out if the engine hadn't been started for a few days.
Noticed that GSF sell Hengst H206W filters (GSF part number 120T00100) the larger sized, and decided to try one out to see if another filter might have a better anti drain valve arrangement, assuming this was an issue here.
Sure enough the oil light now goes out instantly every time, so the previous filters must have been allowing some oil to drain back over a period of time.
When GSF have their regular sales on they cost a grand total of £6.72 each (i now have several in stock), free delivery if you buy a few bits, they also sell Brembo brake friction materials subject to the same 60% discounts at sale time, worth registering so you get their emails to let you know when the discounts apply.
