Does anybody know the filter number of these brands that will work with a '65 122.
I am pretty sure that the filters for the 122 are the same for the modern 240's with the 2.3 motor. I'm just in a hurry and want to change the oil w/a filter that I can buy at the local Auotozone,or Napa Thanks, gv

Hello,

PUROLATOR L14670
A/C Delco PF13 or PF13CL
FRAM PH7328

All of these filters have anti-drain back valves and over pressure relief valves.

You should also be able to find an independent Volvo repair shop that stocks the Mann or Mahle versions.

And the Volvo dealer still has them.

Napa Gold filters are made by Wix. Use a short one for a Ford if you want.
I prefer the factory filters myself. I stuck a 5.0 Ford in a 240 a while back, and I used a Volvo filter on that engine just for looks and to upset the Ford folks. Worked great.

Have also used one of the Mann filters on an Alfa Romeo Alfsud Sprint - looked good on that too and worked well!

Most guys like the Mann or OEM Volvo filters but the standard commercial filters are VERY common. PH8 or PH16 (bigger) will work.

The 120 series does use the same oil oil filter as the 240.

If you can't use a Mann filter, a Wix filter is the next best choice.

Don't EVER put a Fram filter of any kind on your car.

Volvo used the same oil filter on every RWD engine - except maybe the B16.

I'd recommend getting an OEM filter from Volvo. They run around $7.50 here.
They are the same as the Mann filter which can be had for a good price if your have good timing. I picked up a case of 10 from IPD for about $30-40 back in the spring.

The B-16 uses a different oil filter.

Umm...
Yeah, B-4 and B-14, too.
Motorcraft, NAPA, Wix, Bosch, Mann are all good choices; the B-18/20 can use the longer filters easily, too.

Oh heck, I've got the wrong filter for my PV-36!!!!

Seriously, who outside of Sweden has ever laid eyes on a B14?

Newbie.

are you calling me a newbie?

I think McDuck is making a joke about the fact you don't know what filter a rare 50-odd year car engine uses.
Hell I didn't know meself, and I know jes' about ever'thang they is to know.

I can't read the tone too well, but it'd fair to call me a newbie as I drive a car that's easily 5 years older than me...

All my cars are older then me.

My '66 is 19 years older then I am.

Well, good.
The wife's '57 444 had a B-14; nastiest oil filter I've ever messed with.
Cartridge type, upside down, over the front of the engine. Yecch.
Only car I've owned that was older than me was a '36 Ford...

I often think of it as...

if the the car's not older than me, it must not be made very well.

With some exceptions, I generally respect anyone and anything that has survived longer than I've been alive/ But that's just a personal litmus. I doubt the universe cares how long I've been around.

Oh, there are a few around, most 56 early 57 cars that came here (US) had one or the other, mainly b-14s.
The oil filter is a give-away on identifying these engines, it was remote, mounted on the left front of the engine IIRC(much like an early Chevy). The b-16 had the canister type also, but in the same location (more or less) as the b-18/20s.
I did a bit of research on these things when I was making a prototype spin on adapter for the b-16s.

Cheers!
OK

My B16s had a cartridge filter that went into a permanent metal can, more like the oldtimers,
NOT the spin-on type that B18 and later engines use.
I had 3 of them, a '60 544, a '59 544 and a '58 444.

You know... something I'd not thought about in years... my first Volvo.. a '67 122 wagon, had the normal spin on unit, but also had a neato looking auxiliary aftermarket chrome canister filter that (I was told) used a roll of toilet paper as it's replacement element.

I guess it worked, as I put a quarter million miles on that motor prior to parting the car out, and giving the engine to a fella that added another 100+k miles...

You're talking about the Frantz oil filter, and yes... it uses a roll of toilet paper as the filter element. Incidentally, much to my amazement, they're still available... Frantz Filters
