Common problem: filtration media inadequate for efficient
filtration purposes, increasing the likelihood of engine damage.

l Volvo solution: a specialised filtration media engineered from
fine and coarse cellulose fibres to produce the precise filtration
capacity required. The filtration media is impregnated with
phenolic resin hardened at high temperature to extend service
life, pleated and embossed for maximum efficient filtration area.
l Common problem: filter becomes blocked, obstructing the
flow of oil and potentially damaging the engine.
l Volvo solution: the filter casing has a built-in safety valve which
allows oil to pass if the filter becomes blocked.
l Common problem: leakage at the joint in the filtration media.
l Volvo solution: the joint in the filtration media is made by a
specialised metal clamp, eliminating any risk of leakage.
