Pollen Filters

Nearly all front wheel drive Volvo models are equipped with a cabin pollen filter which eliminates pollutants and pollen that would normally enter the passenger compartment. A plugged filter will not only reduce the comfort and protection you and your passengers enjoy against airborne contaminants, but can also shorten the life of the heater blower motor. When the filter becomes clogged, it significantly reduces the airflow through the climate control system, and increases the amount of work load put on the blower motor. For best protection, and to prolong the life of your heater blower motor, the filter should be replaced every 15-20,000 miles and even more frequent in highly dusty areas.Due to the complexity of listings, please select your vehicle from the product shopping page to ensure fitment.

Stock Replacement Air Filters

Replace it every 30,000 miles or more often in dirty or dusty conditions.Due to the complexity of listings, please select your vehicle from the product shopping page to ensure fitment.

K&N Reusable Air Filters

This filter has an international reputation for effective service under the most grueling conditions. Patented design utilizes surgical cotton in multi-layers, oiled and sandwiched between wire mesh. K&N filters not only clean the air, but also straighten the air flow. Under normal conditions cleaning and reoiling is not required until 50,000 miles (without loss of efficiency!)

*Not for “R” models**Starting in 2006.5 S60 T5 models started using R style intake system. If you have a cone style air filter use #E-2019
