all kinds of 6's out there without an oil filter. Just change the oil more often. Pull the dip stick and smell the oil. If burnt smell change it or if real thick and gooey other wise start it and go. You will have a hard time killing that engine. Personally I think the filters are ugly and I have taken all the ones I have had off the engine. Your in the engine bay tinkering all the time so whats a few litres of oil. Have a good one.
