Default Closer inspection of my air filter

Someone has added one of those k and n filters in the car shall I ditch it and go stock. Or do you think it was added at the map, I can't see a stock filter doing any harm and they are better at filtering out cr@p.

If you buy a Mann filter, that's the same as genuine Volvo.
Same for oil, fuel and cabin filter, all available off the shelf at Eurocarparts.

Excellent.
You'll enjoy maintaining your S60. All the P2s are really nice to work on.
