Volvo D Series Crankcase Vent Filter
I have been using the Mann LC 5001X filter which is an exact replacement for the Volvo unit except it costs $29US as opposed to $90US. There is no difference whatsoever between the original and the Mann and I am convinced they are produced in the same factory.
That being said I will installing my last complete set of filters for my D6 engines and started looking for next years change, Came across this which is ridiculously priced in comparison. Advertised as a direct replacement for the Mann unit I know works perfectly. At that price I Will be ordering 8 to keep me going for 4 years.

Aliexpress is usually knock off junk. Tread carefully.

Re: Volvo D Series Crankcase Vent Filter
About 10x cheaper than the OEM Volvo unit, in fact it cost me less for 8 pieces than for 1 original Volvo.
If the link disappears with time, just look google Provent 200 filter. FYI, a Provent 200 is a widely used oil catch can which happens to use the same filter as the Volvo D series.

Re: Volvo D Series Crankcase Vent Filter
I have replaced them once a few years ago. And yes, I was paying high full price OEM.
At this cost, it could be a no brainer unless you find some issue with them.
I will say I have noticed a small amount of oil in this area of the crankcase filter. I’m no sure if it has been from the hose clamps under the filter or maybe even the rubber gasket that comes with this filter.

Re: Volvo D Series Crankcase Vent Filter
The only thing I noticed was the circumference of the filter was slightly smaller/skinnier. Any idea if that makes a difference?
I have D9’s.
