I normally use Mann oil filters... He replaced it with my normal Mann filter and it never happened again. Changed oil three times since then with the Mann filter and light has never come on.
Been using these since I got this car 3 years ago.
what I used on my old car from after the warranty ended to 215,000 miles (the last oil change before buying a new car)? Shell Rotella T6 or Chevron Delo 400 LE 5w40, which ever was cheaper at WalMart (or in stock), combined with a FRAM filter (back when it was made in Germany), then later the genuine Mann filter.
Replaced: oil filter (fram), oil 0-40w Outcome: Compression was restored and car started, loud valve train noise gone.
OEM Volvo or Mann.
Mann oil filter, it's want they use in Europe (and what VW recommends)

I bought a Mann brand filter for less than 3 bucks on sale! In my case though the filter didn't help even though the old one was way dirty.
Frams are cheaper. Fram filters are smaller and don't have the same internal baffle / checks and might not filter as well. It's just not as quality of a part than other manufacturers. You get what you pay for.
i had the same issue, when i changed to an OEM oil filter, (not a Fram as the original owner) the problem went away...
