I use Mobil 1 5w-30 oil with either the Volvo dealer filter or the MANN filters. Volvo filters are made by MANN so they are the same thing.

If I were to go out and buy something else then I would buy either the MOBIL 1 or the Purolator PURE ONE filter. Amsoil also makes excellent filters but I've never fallen in love with Amsoil products.

Amsoil, Mobil 1, and Pure One consistantly either top the lists, or rank in the top 5 filters, in almost all oil filter tests. The MANN filters rank perform well enough in tests that I don't have any problem using them. I would avoid any other filter. Fram's new high end filter still isn't as good as MANN.

If you can't get any of these filters where you live then call IPD or one of the Volvo parts houses and order a case. Don't forget to get the oil drain plug gaskets too.
