I would use the viscosity Volvo recommends. 45 point viscosity spreads bother me. I know Mobil uses viscosity improvers to make that spread - use a 10W-30, 5W-30. Just my opinion, and no I don't think that oil will immediately kill your engine, but I just wouldn't go the full European "non-harsh" (ie not extreme conditions) oil change interval recommendation.
