Yes MANN is the OEM for not just VOLVO S70

posted by  someone claiming to be cn on  Mon Sep 27 14:54 CST 2004 [RELATED]

but also for many Europena cars such as BMW, MB, SAAB, Porsche etc.

Since 1960's Mann Hummel has been making Oil and AIR filters for not only Volvo but many European cars.

http://www.mann-hummel.com/ W917

is the filter for Volvo gasoline engine since 1960's!!! All these models (1800, 242, 244, 740, 940, 850 and S70/V70 ? until 1999 uses the exactly same Oil Filter).

Personally I'd not worry so much, even a Bosch or STP filters at Pepboys aor Autozone works just fine, just too much hype about Volvo parts. I have been using Bosch and STP OF for 8 yeras; change them every 6 months and 5-6K miles. Virtually no issues.

So OF is not my favorite topic because it makes very little difference, if any, to use Mann. If it makes you sleep better then use Mann.

The plcae where OEM parts matter is:

- Bosch Sp. plugs
- Bosch alternator
- Wahler thermostat
- Behr radiator

etc.

Hope this helps.
