Remember not to overtighen the housing when you put it back on - the washer will expand and hand tightening is sufficient and then you dont risk breaking the housing next time you need to remove it.
thanks for your advice. I used a Mann filter from a local autoparts store. included in the box was a new large o-ring seal for the housing, but no seal for the drain plug. Does the volvo filter come with both seals?
