FOR VOLVO
Volvo Filters have well proven high filtration capabilities.
Non genuine filters may be less efficient and problems may occur, such as :
- risk of extensive wear of machine parts
- risk of breakdowns
- risk of excessive downtime
- risk of significant repair costs

Conclusion Conclusion

Volvo Filters possess high dirt holding capacity combined with good flow capabilities. Volvo Filters have well proven high fluid flow rate.
They will perform until the next service. Non-genuine filters can have poor flow rates leading to higher differential pressure. High
Non-genuine filters may not provide the necessary protection for the full duration of the differential pressure causes:
service interval. Several problems may also occur, such as : - increased fuel consumption
- restricted lubrication - low performance due to low oil flow
- low performance due to low oil flow - increased risk of filter collapse
- risk of collapsed filter allowing unfiltered oil to circulate - risk of significant repair costs
- non-genuine filters are likely to need replacing more often
– additional cost and downtime

Conclusion Conclusion

Volvo Filters are manufactured to a very high quality and rigorous quality controls are
maintained during the manufacturing process. Non-genuine filters are often built using
cheap materials with insufficient bonds and seals. Little or no control of source material
and manufacturing means quality can vary considerably. This causes:
- risk of leaks GOOD
MAINTENANCE
- risk of oil or air passing unfiltered
- risk of filter material entering into the systems and causing blockages
- risk of filter collapse
- which in turn risk to damage components with extensive repair costs as
a consequence. POOR
