    Has anyone else noticed this?
    Looking at buying a couple new trucks and this stood out right away on the 21 models.... Wondering why they changed and what the two filters are now if one is a bypass and one is full flow..?

    The three filter design Volvo has with the bypass has always been superior to other MFGs ... I hope they didn't get cheap by going to two filters and not use bypass...

    I would check well, i have seen multiple time that there is no bypass filter installed instead there is a cap same as on fuel filter housing when having a glass seperator on chassis in that case just take off cap and put bypass filter and all good.
    and yes they did cheap out with that new engine a little bit but they call it saving weight for better fuel economy just bs by my standarts.
