Same process on D3, D4 and D5 5 cylinder motors. I am told it's much harder on 4WD models (XC70 mainly), because there's more in the way of accessing the filter. I bought one of the cast metal gripper rings and that works really well, however i have done it with a strap type oil filter wrench too. But not a chain type as that could crack the plastic housing. VolvoSweden on Youtube has a good video (made by his mate with a diesel) of how to change the filter easily.

Vital to do the start up process as outlined by #Passenger above, otherwise you will flatten the battery trying to suck fuel through. Yes, I've done it...
