Re: [DML] Oil Filter

Tom,

Most auto company's do not manufacture oil filters. The companies contract major manufacturers, such as Fram, Purolator, and Wix to supply them with filters and than have their name stamped on the filter. I believe Wix, a major supplier of filters to many company's, is the current supplier of Volvo oil filters. 

Don't be concerned about the filter coming into contact with your oil pressure sender, this is a common situation and will not have any adverse effects on either component.

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?
