Kwik oil filter Q

[Sunsetrider]

I can't read the label - which filter for the 1976 MD17C? The manual is no help whatsoever, which strikes me as a little unusually vague. Volvo dealer says he needs the engine ser. # but I cannot find that. If all else fails I suppose I could just remove the old one after adding the fresh oil, bring it into the shop and put it on later . . .

Check the pictures of the oil filters displayed at:

Note that the site is in the UK, but the part numbers might match...

Happy researching,

I'll give Golden Arrow a call in a moment for you, they are one of the UK's leading Volvo dealers who are also one of my clients.

The first one has been superseded and is now 22057107

The Volvo Penta web store has this part: 834337 for a MD17C

Here's the full page: http://www.volvopentastore.com/Lubricat ... _id.771792

Searching on the part number gets you lots of hits that may help.

Doug, that number is the superseded one - it may be different in the States of course

The page I looked at had the number I posted above as the replacement. So is there a third one?

The genealogy of the filter number appears to look like:

1st appearance - 897321 Doug’s source

2nd appearance – 834337 Joe’s source

3rd appearance – 22057107 Tree’s source

The numbers may or may not be prefaced with a “V”. “V” being for a Volvo part, and no prefix is for a replacement part.

Have fun,

Sunsetrider - Just a silly question, but have you looked for a number directly on the filter? All of my Volvo replacement parts are labeled.

I only had two to go on, the one you had mentioned then the one I had mentioned, after calling the Volvo dealer here, he confirmed that the first one had been superseded - that however may be European numbers and may not apply Stateside.

Sorry to be late getting back (I don't seem to get notice of replies). Anyhow, I could not read all the numbers on the filter, but based on being able to read some of them I think the number is 834337. I found a Fram equivalent with that reference and bought it but have decided to leave the existing filter in until the Spring before re-start. I'll find the official Volvo version before then.

I'll check my settings for notifications.
