I've changed the fluid in my S70.

I tried Valvoline synthetic gear oil, and the shift quality was horrendous.

Then I went to Redline MTL, and the shift quality was about the same as the original fluid.

When I changed the fluid in my other car, an old Mazda RX-7, I bought Redline MT-90. On a whim, I decided to try it in my S70, too, and it seemed to yield slightly better shift quality than the MTL did.
