Mahle Oil Filters Modern Volvos (1999 and newer models) with 5, 6 and 8 cylinder engines use a black plastic spin-on canister that holds the oil filter. Please check your Volvo to be sure.
Mahle is the Volvo OE supplier for cartridge style oil filters. We sell the same filter Volvo sells except that ours come in a Mahle box and don't say Volvo on them. The picture at right is for comparison only.
These filters come with a black O-ring style seal for sealing the canister.
We occasionally get contacted by technicians telling us that this filter doesn't fit in the housing. This is the correct filter and must be pushed in to the housing. It will "snap" in when pushed firmly. The filter has a foam material on the sealing surface. If it isn't tight, it won't seal and will allow dirty oil to get past the filter.
Please check fitment listed below to ensure products will fit your specific vehicle.
Some products may include or exclude some model years or engine and transmission combinations.
We offer some products with multiple brand options. Products ending with an "E" suffix indicate Economy (non-OE) brands.

Great kit! Filter has to be pushed on firmly and the cap wrench sometimes gets stuck after tightening. But quick oil change place put in a filter that was just flopping around and not filtering at all and a little tap usually releases the cap wrench. Using new o-rings and crush washers every time has stopped my leak too. I guess if you want something done right you just have to do it yourself.

Used with my 3/8 torque wrench & didn't have any problems removing or replacing the filter housing.

The weld broke the 2nd time I used the cap. I then took it to work and did a proper weld job and it has been fine ever since. It can be difficult to remove the wrench from the plastic filter housing. IPD needs to do more than just have a spot weld to hold the socket fitting to the cap.
ipd customer service response: ipd does offer two different styles of tool. The T261 is our more economical version and the T1275OS is a heavy duty style that we manufacture.

This product worked great. My oil filter cover was extremely tight and overtorqued, but this attachments loosened it up with no problem or breakage. Definitely worth the money over the premium ones in my opinion.

POJ, don't waste your money on this one. The weld broke the first time I use it. I
have to call a friend to bring his over to save me. I drained the oil and started to take
the filter off and it broke. ipd should take this off their inventory. I called and ipd sent
me two more, now I have three of them, may be I can trade them back for the 40.00
one.

Works like a charm. You should know that you need a 3/8 torque wrench. I bought mine and it allows you to tighten the housing to the 25 Nm recommended amount. In combination they are all you need to take that cap on and off whenever you want.
The mechanic that last did the oil change had tightened the cap too much and it took a lot of elbow grease to unscrew it, but it's not done.
The only problem I have is that my cap wrench is stuck to the actual cap. Can't remove it. If IPD has any suggestions on how to do that I will be very grateful. I'll check on this a few days later.

This is a great kit and its a few bucks cheaper than ordering each part individually. The cap wrench is a nice addition to my tool kit, because this is the first time I was able to torque the filter cap properly.

Add me to the list of those satisfied with the low-cost filter cap wrench. Mine has worked just fine, but I suppose if someone over-tightened the cap the previous oil change, then maybe they might have trouble getting it off. I always use a torque wrench on both the filter cap and the drain plug.
