Try one of our quality paper elements, just like the one that your Volvo came with. Easy to install and maintain Ñ just discard and replace with a new one when needed. Check air filter every 10,000 miles. Replace it every 30,000 miles or more often in dirty or dusty conditions.

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. Your engine is provided with a less turbulent air stream than other popular filtering mediums (like paper and foam.) Under normal conditions cleaning and reoiling is not required until 50,000 miles (without loss of efficiency!) K&N filters come pre-oiled and ready for installation.

How long has it been since the fuel filter on your Volvo was changed? If you’re not sure, it would be a good idea to replace it at your next oil change or tune-up to prevent loss of performance or related problems. Under normal conditions, it’s safe to replace the fuel filter at 30,000 miles or 2-year intervals. When changing the filter, it is very important to use safe handling procedures and be prepared for fuel spillage. Consult the appropriate workshop manual for specifics. To ensure a leak-free installation, always install new copper sealing washers (included with most of our filters). Also keep in mind that any foreign debris in the output side of the filter or fuel line could cause serious problems in the fuel system. It is very important to measure your fuel filter on 1975-80 240 series. It’s the only way to be sure to get the correct one.

Oil flows through your automatic transmission and power steering system to transmit power, lubricate parts and provide cooling. Contaminants such as dirt, metal fragments and fibers cause the oil to work like sandpaper. Instead of lubricating, the oil gradually wears out the parts it’s supposed to protect. Under normal conditions, the oil can be contaminated in just 25 hours of driving.

These filters stop ferrous metal below the sub-micron level! The remaining metal and dirt is stopped by the paper element.

Installing a Magnefine in-line filter will remove 99.997% of damaging contamination, making the oil cleaner than when your vehicle left the factory. And it will keep it that way.
