As far as major brand oils go, I'd pick Mobil 1. Volvo reccommends 7,500mi oil changes in my S40. I would never do that with a non-synthetic. Have no problem with my full-synthetic of choice, Amsoil....would also be comfortable with Mobil 1 as well.

I don't think it's too early or too late to switch to a good full-synthetic. The S40 got it at 5,200mi and the 240 got it at 231,000mi. Nowadays, Volvo has a detailed protocol for factory break-in of all their engines so special oil/changes are not really needed to condition a new engine. If it's ready to change go to the good stuff.
