Mobil 1 15w40. I have a chronic noisy lifter problem and the thicker oil made it far worse. From what I've heard and experienced Volvo's are very picky about oil grades. Definatly give the engine a good flushing before you change over. Also expect to go through some oil when you first change over to synthetic as it cleans out all the dino gunk. You need a aluminum plug washer too. I'd just recomend getting a volvo filter and plug washer $5.99 at my dealer.

As for ramps... if they won't catch the bumper ok. Myself I bought a couple jack stands and use the factory jack. If you haven't used it yet... it's the best OE jack I've ever used and makes tire rotations a walk in the park!

Hope this helps
