It is more like Mann make filters that fit Volvos

On the whole Mann to the best of my knowledge are rarely chosen as an original equipment supplier: But they might have filled a gap once in a while.

For items like oil filters I like brands like Knecht that often than not include a washer for a drain plug as well as the filter (only cos I like a little bit of forethought from a supplier)

I'm not slagging Mann off - I've bought their products before for different vehicles over the years and they seem to be equally as good as other offerings (despite the lack of forethought!)

You are quite right. This is something that has been known for a long time.

Mann do supply the oil filters to Volvo

Price is usually about the same for both.

Volvo one looks better

I usually buy about 1 dozen copper washers at a time, they are cheap enough.

There are many threads like this one on virtually every automotive forum - some how people are adamant that one brand is the sole supplier and yet at the same time the filters from the dealership appear to be slightly different / thicker / whatever...

Much like the "oil threads" emotions can run high.

I've reached the conclusion that it is best to buy a filter from a decent brand - such as Mann / Knecht / Purflex / Malhe - where you feel for that specific point in time you've got the best deal you can.

Many people assume the dealership is expensive - this isn't always the case - it is always worth checking even if it is just so you have a benchmark for comparison purposes.

I've taken to buying kits of assorted washers (even though I like attention to detail from certain brands where I might get a washer included with a filter)...

...you never know when it'll come in handy
