You should use Volvo's gear oil. It is a synthetic and normally
does not need changing. Here is what I see at alldatadiy.com
(worth the $25 subscription for this kind of info):
Volvo Synthetic Transmission Oil P/N 1161423-7, Or Equivalent
Capacity 2.1 liters (2.2 US qt)
On another page it listed the fluid as:
Specified Fluid Volvo synthetic P/N 11 61 423
I've seen it on the shelf at a local independent garage. I bet
it's been on his shelf for years :)
I have found it hard to get fluids shipped by mail from discount
parts dealers so you may just have to get it from a local dealer.
