The transmission dip stick is located just right of center when you open your hood, burried way down below all of the large diameter turbo pipes. It is hard to get to, much less to see without pushing and pulling these hoses out of the way. You check the level after you've driven the car at least for 15 minutes. You want to check the hot level with the car running and idling. Shift through all of your gears with your foot on the brake, stopping at each gear for a few seconds and then putting it in park and then pull the stick. On our V70 the dip stick was very tight...almost like it was glued in. I had to twist and pull to get it out. So, you might want to make sure it's loose enough to get out first before you go to all the trouble above.
The oil filters are sold at www.fcpgroton.com. Make sure you get a aluminum washer for your drain plug too. A good site with instructions is here (If I recall correctly, I believe it's the same as an S80 oil change): http://www.volvospeed.com/s80oil.php
