ipd Air Management System
The ipd Air Management System (AMS) increases throttle response and provides a more aggressive intake growl under acceleration. Improved breathing capacity and lower intake air temperature results in greater horsepower and torque. A byproduct of our free flowing design is an addictive sound under full throttle and throttle lift (turbo woosh!!!) as the boosted air is redirected by the diverter valve.
Mann and Mahle OEM Oil Filters
We’ve discovered that OEM filters are manufactured by both Mahle and Mann, depending on the application. We carry what Volvo carries, so you can be sure that you’re getting OEM, whichever model you own. See descriptions below for details.
Note: Volvo states that the drain plug crush washer should be replaced at every oil change.Oil Filter Housing
Generally the cartridge housing does not require replacement, however if it becomes cross threaded it can become difficult to install correctly which can lead to leaks. Also, it is not uncommon for the filter to be over tightened be a well meaning technician. As the engine heat cycles through use, the filter housing tightens up further, often leading to very difficult removal wherein some cases the housing will become damaged or stripped during removal. This is when you need a new housing. We’ve also heard that the housing can become brittle as it ages (60,000+ miles.)Volvo is a little unclear on when the cartridge style housing was first introduced. We believe 1999 Turbo models had the new cartridge style and 1999 non-turbo models still had the older spin on style. All models 2000 and newer have the cartridge style filter.
The O-ring on the housing should be replaced at every filter service and is included with the filter.
*Includes new 1275811 filter
Oil Filter Cap Wrench & Filter Kit
Having the right tool makes all the difference and keeps the simple jobs simple. Starting in 1999 Volvo switched to a paper cartridge style oil filter that is encased in a plastic housing. Commonly this housing gets damaged or stripped from use of a strap style or clamp style wrench, making oil changes a hassle. We offer the right tool at a reasonable price that is perfect for this job and will keep the job simple in the future.
The stamped steel tool is for the average do it yourselfer who's doing an oil change four or five times a year, but if you are a mechanic or work on your friends and families cars, you should probably get the heavy duty versions.
Oil Filter Torque Wrench
Torque Limiting ratchet that prevents over tightening and damaging of plastic oil filter cartridge housings. The ratchet limits torque to 25 Nm (18 ft.lb.) and produces a clicking action when the correct torque is achieved (tighten until ratchet clicks.)The ratchet is not torque limited in counter-clockwise direction so it can be used to loosen an over-tightened housing. This wrench is perfect to use with our T261 oil filter cartridge cap wrench.
Please note that this wrench is only for models with plastic oil filter housings.
