Most 1999 and newer models with 5, 6 and 8 cylinder engines use the black plastic spin-on canister that holds the oil filter. Please check your Volvo to be sure. 
Mahle is the Volvo OEM supplier for cartridge style oil filters. This is the same filter Volvo sells except that ours come in a Mahle box. The picture at right is for comparison only.
This filter is a tight fit in the black housing. This is by design to seal the filter so oil doesn't leak around it during operation. Just press until it seats.
These filters come with a black O-ring style seal for sealing the canister.
