Do you have a photo of one that has been dissected? That may be the easiest way to tell.

AFAIK the OEM for Volvo filters are Mahle and Mann. Unless they have changed supplier it should still be those companies.

To your second question, they are excellent .

Mahle and Mann.

I use the Mahle (I have found it to be slightly cheaper than Mann.) in the GFs car. Even though it is short tripped, the filter comes out straight and wave free.

I may try the Fram Ultra or Napa Gold there is a purolater PL14670 on there now and i want to remove that and use a quality filter. This car is not driven much..

Make sure you cut it open when you take it off

Yes, the Mahle and Mann-made OEM filters are great! You can get them for about $6 each on ebay. In addition, they cost much less than Fram/Wix/Purolator that start out at double that price. The only reasonably-priced aftermarket filter is the Napa proselect which is far inferior to Mann/Mahle and no cheaper.
