RE: [DML] Oil Filter

["Doc" <doctor280@xxxx>]

The oil filters that I get at my local Volvo Dealer are Volvo part#
3517857-3.

You can buy a brass fitting that will create the desired angle of the oil
sending unit so that it will not make contact with the larger oil filter.
Make sure that you use a brass adapter, as steel will cause damage to the
aluminum casing. You can get the brass fitting at most auto parts stores.

Subject: [DML] Oil Filter


After looking for the "right" oil filter I decided to go to a Volvo
shop and bought what I thought was a Volvo Filter. Question, this
filter is white with Blue lettering and reads "Meets or exceeds Volvo
replaces 3517857-3" underneath a bunch of translations it reads"not
affliated with Volvo" Is this a Volvo filter or what?
