Here is the answer 850

Dear Ken,

I have been a Volvo owners for many years.

This is the answer:

Mann-Hummel is the leading mfg of filters (air, oil, fuel, cabin etc.). They are the OEM supplier for most of these European cars (MB, BMW, SAAB, Volvo, Porsche etc.).
http://www.mann-hummel.com/

But here is the key: Volvo has been using the same Oil Filter since 1964 on the very first Volvo's in the 1960's:
444-544, 120-130, 1800, 140-160, 200, 700, 900

I used to have 1991 240 and it is the same OF as my current V70.
However, on the 240 the OF is side-monuted and therefore Anti-drain back valve makes sense.

When Volvo designed the 850 series in the 1990's, for part inventory and simplicity reasons they used the same OF, even though the filter is mounted below the engine sump. No special reasons, they just want to use the same old stuff that is proven to work well in their cars.
