The CarLube bottle specification is ... API SL/CF and ACEA A3/BE
The Haynes manual says to use API CF/CD and/or ACEA B3
The spec looks close enough, or am I in trouble?
I change oil around 6000-10000 miles, so it wont be in there long.

It's your car and is obviously up to you what oil to choose. There probably won't be any immediate bad effects from using it, but it won't do you any long term favours.
I'd go for a bit more quality personally, especially as you're going for a genuine filter. The Shell stuff mentioned above is good value, I've used that a few times myself.
