Hey guys. I got a 2001 2.4t and im like 1000 away from the 15000 mile mark. I was wondering when im suppose to change my filter. Im gonna change it at 15k becuase i wanna put a K&N air filter in it and add a couple more horse. Does anyone have one of those?? i heard ur car sounds lowder when its in. I wonder if it makes the turbo sound a bit louder. I hope it does, i love the sound of the turbo. anyways please reply and tell me wht ur experinces are.

For the 2001 S60, this is what Volvo says:

Air Cleaner
Replace the air cleaner cartridge with a new one every 30,000 miles.

For the 2002 S60, this is what Volvo says:

Engine Air Filter
Replace the engine air filter cartridge with a new one every 37,500 miles under normal driving conditions.

Not sure why things have changed a little, but if you want to change to K&N now, that should not be a problem at all, especially since it is something that is not really cost prohibitive (#33-2176 @ $62) IMHO. I have heard from import owners that it gives a little sportier intake noise.

33-2176 is available at Martel Brothers for $40.25 last I'd checked.

Dave,

Good point, I think $62 is the actual K&N retail price, but most online places are selling it for around $42.
