So this "should" be the last comment on this thread...maybe...;)

In spite of Steve's comments about 0W40, I'm probably going to go with the Volvo recommendation of 5W30. I have the oil filter wrench (< $10 at FCP, Steve), new Mann oil filter and new rubber ring on the way. The oil plug copper crush washer appears to be the same size as the one on the 740 and I have a bunch of those on hand, so I'm set there.

So my question is how much oil does the engine take? The owners manual calls for 5-6 quarts (?) and am wondering if anyone knows for sure how much an 05 S60 normally aspirated motor takes. I'd hate to pick up a 5 gallon jug and find I need another quart and have to run back out to pick it up...

Thanks much.
