I need to change out the flame trap with my next oil change and wondered if anyone can find or send me a photo or web link showing what this "oil separator box" looks like.

Klaus, you told me awhile back that it is under the intake manifold.
AS I face the windshield of the car with the hood open, is that area to the right side (driver's side) of the car? I remember doing this change on my old '95 850 several times but I am now confused with this ne oil separator box thing.

Thanks!

    Two different animals. The 'flame trap' is just north of the throttle body as you face the front of the car. Verify that the small diameter hose is clear of hard sludge and the plastic screen has been tossed in the garbage can.

    The oil separator is under the intake manifold, slightly to the left of the oil dipstick. Replacement is about a 5 hour job and needs to be done at about 150K miles or so. Not for the level 1 mechanic. Look on matthews volvo site for a pictorial on how to do - Google it.
