Thanks, and I agree that Mobil 3309 looks to be a compatible replecement.

However, when I talked with the Volvo dealer that services our car (2000 V70SE w/AW5 five speed auto), they say that due to their exclusive contract with Castrol Oils, Castrol ATF+3 Multivehicle ATF is used when they service AW5's:

Note the link above and the product summary sheet, which says ATF+3 is can be used for Volvos EXCEPT the five speed.

I wonder what the AMSOIL mavens have to say... is there an AMSOIL product that works in AW5? Also, I wonder who produces Volvo's $17/qt synthetic?
