Volvo 23671216 Oil Filter – Essential Lubrication System Protection for Modern Diesel Engines
The Volvo 23671216 Oil Filter is a high-quality OEM filtration component engineered to safeguard diesel engines by efficiently removing contaminants from engine oil. Used across various Volvo truck and bus platforms, especially those with Euro 6 powertrains such as D11, D13, and D16 engines, this oil filter plays a critical role in maintaining oil purity, prolonging engine life, and supporting optimal engine performance.
With increasingly complex emission systems and tighter tolerances in modern diesel engines, clean and well-lubricated internal components are essential for vehicle reliability, reduced maintenance costs, and environmental compliance. The 23671216 oil filter offers precisely that—trusted filtration with Volvo-certified engineering.
What Is an Oil Filter?
An oil filter is a device in the engine lubrication circuit that removes dirt, carbon particles, and metal shavings from circulating oil. Over time, engine oil becomes contaminated as it absorbs combustion byproducts and debris from normal engine operation. Without an effective filter, these impurities can lead to excessive wear, clog oil passages, and degrade engine components.
The Volvo 23671216 oil filter is designed as a full-flow spin-on type that filters 100% of the engine’s oil before it is recirculated. This ensures clean lubrication at all times.
Volvo 23671216 Oil Filter – Technical Overview
- Part Number: 23671216
- Type: Full-flow spin-on oil filter
- Media: Multi-layer cellulose and synthetic blend
- Micron Rating: Approximately 10–20 microns (traps fine particles)
- Bypass Valve: Integrated (opens under cold start or filter clog conditions)
- Anti-Drain Back Valve: Yes (maintains oil in filter to ensure lubrication on engine start)
- Thread Size & Gasket Dimensions: Designed for Volvo engine specifications
Key Benefits
1. Superior Contaminant Removal
The advanced filter media is capable of trapping microscopic particles that would otherwise damage engine bearings, camshafts, and pistons. This ensures long-term engine protection even under extreme operating conditions.
2. Maintains Oil Pressure and Flow
The full-flow design ensures that oil reaches critical engine components without interruption. An integrated bypass valve prevents oil starvation in case of cold starts or extreme contamination.
3. Extended Engine Life
By reducing abrasive wear and maintaining oil cleanliness, the 23671216 oil filter helps extend the lifespan of the engine, turbocharger, and other lubrication-dependent components.
4. Improved Fuel Efficiency and Performance
Efficient oil filtration contributes to smoother engine operation, reducing internal resistance and improving overall efficiency and fuel economy.
5. Genuine Volvo Quality
As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, the filter offers guaranteed fitment and meets or exceeds Volvo’s rigorous engineering and performance standards.
Maintenance and Replacement Guidelines
Oil filters should be replaced at every engine oil change, typically every 60,000 to 75,000 kilometers or according to Volvo’s service schedule. Delaying replacement can lead to reduced oil flow, increased engine wear, and eventual failure.
Signs of a Clogged or Failing Oil Filter:
- Decreased oil pressure
- Engine noise (tapping or knocking)
- Dirty or thickened engine oil
- Warning lights on dashboard
- Overheating due to poor lubrication
Timely replacement of the oil filter is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways to protect a diesel engine.
Installation Tips
- Drain old oil and remove the used filter using a proper oil filter wrench
- Check that the old gasket is removed from the housing
- Lubricate the new filter’s O-ring with clean oil
- Tighten to manufacturer-specified torque (hand-tight + ½ turn if no spec)
- Refill with clean oil and check for leaks
- Reset oil change interval on vehicle’s service system
Applications and Compatibility
The Volvo 23671216 oil filter is compatible with a wide range of Volvo vehicles, including:
- Volvo FH Series (Euro 6)
- Volvo FM and FMX Series
- Engines: D11K, D13K, D16K
- Buses and Construction Equipment: Where equipped with matching engine platforms
Always verify fitment using the vehicle’s VIN or consult Volvo’s official parts catalog.
Environmental Responsibility
Used oil filters must be disposed of in compliance with environmental regulations. They contain residual oil and filtered contaminants, which qualify as hazardous waste. Most service centers offer recycling or disposal options.
Volvo 23671216 Oil Filter
The Volvo 23671216 Oil Filter is a fundamental component for maintaining engine health and longevity. It ensures the continuous delivery of clean oil, reduces wear, and protects critical systems in Volvo diesel engines.
Whether you operate a single Volvo truck or manage a fleet, choosing OEM oil filters like the 23671216 guarantees reliability, performance, and peace of mind.
