The DOT 3/4 Girling seal BS is a vestigial urban legend that was around long before there even was DOT 4(or a DOT, come to think of it!). DOT 3 will cause no problems, of itself, in your Volvo unless you exceed it's temperature rating, which isn't likely in normal driving. I know people who've put DOT 3 in their 240s for
(10s of)years without even knowing DOT 4 is spec'd.
If you tow or drive aggressively, you'd be better off with DOT 4.
