A 0W-30 synthetic oil is appropriate for any US climate including Alaska to Arizona, and any Volvo engine including B23XF/T or B6304. Film strength and viscosity are superior, fuel economy is better (especially at start up) and engine cooling is better. Note that I wrote "synthetic" not dino oil, since a 0W-30 dino oil would have a high proportion of non-lubricating viscosity index improvers, absent from a synthetic. See the FAQ for more details. From Mobil:
