Manual Transmission Oil 850

I just bought my car and while it looks to have been pampered I'm not sure of it's service history. I want my car to last and am in the process of doing different preventative maintenance and going to change the tranny oil soon. What oil does volvo recomend or what are your opinions as to the best for this manual transmission?
Thanks

    It's a synthetic fluid and Volvo has a specific PN for it too (probably expensive). Call your dealer to see if they even stock it because they might not as changing manual trans fluid is almost never done by anyone. I can understand your wanting to do it with your mileage however as I would myself if I had that car, just to be on the safe side.
